On April 8, 1984, the team was promoted to Serie A1, the top tier of the Italian league system, where it played for the next three years, reaching the quarter-finals in 1985.

Part of that roster featured young players who won the national junior title in 1989, including Carlton Myers, who would later be Italy's flag-bearer at the opening ceremony of the 2000 Sydney Olympics.

In 2011, the Crabs were unable to participate in the upcoming Legadue due to debts and instead found a place in the fourth division (DNB) with the intervention of Luciano Capicchioni, who had previously owned the team.

As a result, a new organization named Rinascita Basket Rimini (RBR) was established in the summer as a counter to the Crabs, who, as previously mentioned, ended their first team’s operations.
