The Turkish Basketball Federation (TBF) and the Turkish Basketball Coaches Association (TÜBAD) came together regarding bribery allegations.



Following allegations that coaches in the national basketball team’s infrastructure received bribes from parents, the federation and the Turkish Basketball Coaches Association (TÜBAD) held a meeting.



In a statement from TÜBAD, it was said, "Meeting on Value, Ethics, and Responsibility in the Coaching Profession."



As a reminder, with the public information we published on April 7, 2025, we shared our approach to the discussions that arose regarding some practices alleged not to align with the ethics of our coaching profession and the respectability of our national teams in the infrastructure, and we also expressed that we would urgently contact the relevant institutions to ensure that the process could be conducted transparently and healthily.



In this context, on Monday, April 14, 2025, a delegation consisting of TÜBAD President Necati Güler, General Secretary Derya Aydıner, and our Board Member Ercüment Ülker met with the Vice President of the Turkish Basketball Federation, Mr. Harun Erdenay, and the TBF Sports Director, Mr. Alper Yılmaz.



The main agenda items of the meeting were determined as follows:



* Mutual evaluations regarding the recent unethical allegations reflected in the public,



* Suggestions and contributions from TÜBAD and TBF regarding the management of the process,



* Collaboration opportunities aimed at strengthening the ethical foundations of the coaching profession.



As TÜBAD, we believe that it is not possible to achieve sustainable success in our country's basketball without strengthening the professional reputation and respectability of the coaches who form the building blocks of Turkish basketball.



With this understanding, thinking not only about today but also about tomorrow; we continue to work decisively for a basketball structure shaped by reason, ethics, and responsibility. In this process, we would like to emphasize once again that we are open to all kinds of cooperation to leave a fairer, more transparent, and more reliable basketball environment for future generations.



However, we also emphasize that we will stand against approaches that undermine this environment and damage the sense of trust with the same determination. With our respects," it was stated.
