Basketball tries to come out of the shadows of football in Morooco. The growing sport so failing to match the scale of funds and supporters. In comparison to football, basketball teams lack the financial support needed to attract young players to the game. This situation affects most teams in the league, who have to bring players from outside their hometowns, sometimes from abroad. While football is mainly financed by television rights and subsidies from the Moroccan Football Association, basketball does not enjoy such options. They struggle to find financial support when most of their players are professionals. Many teams have had to declare bankruptcy because they were heavily in debt and couldn't find a backer. Some clubs go as far signing overseas players, mainly from the United States and from sub-Sahara countries such as Senegal, who use the experience as a springboard to enhance their sporting chances. Among them US player Larry Williams who is playing his first season with Berkane following stints in Australia, Lebanon and Saudi Arabia. He's hoping to pass his experience on to Morocco's next generation of players: "I think also that it can help people if players from the United States who lived and were coached there are bringing their knowledge and experience out here. Maybe they could help local kids or teach their skills and drills to the local kids and pass on their basketball knowledge in the future".
