2008–09 BC Mureș season


Going into the 2008–09 BC Mureș season, fan expectations were high for BC Mures, but things did not go as they hoped. After only five games head coach Mihai Corui stepped down from his position, which was occupied by Lithuanian Audrius Prakuraitis. The season was a disappointing one although the team played a more organized basketball but in the end did not manage to enter the playoffs.

The Romanian Basketball Federation decided to increase the number of participants for the 08–09 season from 14 clubs to 16 clubs. In this case none of the clubs that played in the last season relegated to div. 2. CS Energia Rovinari and CSS ``U`` Craiova are the two new summer clubs that will complete the Romanian Basketball Division A team list. After the folding of the Rm.Valcea club there were only 15 teams left to start the championship race.

In order to be able to develop its own reinforcement strategy the club decided to form a second team that will play in the Romanian Basketball division B under the name of Bc Mures II. Young and promising players like Biro Ferenc, Bogdan Cormos, Soos Tibor, Daniel Patru, Bogdan Puscas and "veteran" Ioan Muresan along with other local talents will play at this team. The goal of this new team is to prepare the Romanian players for the high level of the Romanian Division A basketball. Due to money shortage three of these players were called up to the First team squad, all of them former components of the latter. As a result, the division B team folded. The team finished the regular season on a disappointing 10th place. In the first round of the play-out they easily dispatched Rapid, a team formed exclusively by Romanian players, in two games.
