The suspense is not reserved only for the top of the table, and for the teams which are vying for the titles. The last of a championship can experience an exciting and stressful end to the season to avoid being relegated to a lower division. This was the case a few months ago for Saint-Vallier Basket Drôme, which had to fight until the last match with several clubs to avoid a demotion.
Back in Pro B for a year, the Drôme players have managed to maintain their club. It is now a question of settling comfortably at the top level. Philippe Namyst, the coach, and Pierre Bouvarel, head of the professional sector of the SVBD, decipher for France Bleu Drôme Ardèche the challenges of this new season.
