Basketball in Novosibirsk
The men's basketball team was established in Novosibirsk in 1973 on the basis of the Molodist Sports Club of the Electric Locomotive Repair Plant and then played under the flag of the Lokomotiv Society. The idea of Molodost had to be defended in dozens of offices, literally at every step. The accelerating Lokomotiv express was led (or rather carried) from one stop to another by its coaches.
The coaches were: Alexander Naumovich Solodkin and Yuri Nikolayevich Perminov, who used to play in the Sverdlovsk teams UPI and Uralmash. They managed to unite a group of young promising players 1955-1957 years of birth, who at that time trained with coaches Yuri Nikolayevich Aristarkhov and Vitaly Fedorovich Utkin.

According to the results of the Final Four, the defender of the Novosibirsk basketball club Sergey Tokarev was recognized as the MVP of the tournament, and two team players entered the symbolic team at once: forward Vitaly Ionov and center Pavel Podkolzin.
Having won the first trophy, Novosibirsk did not slow down. BC Novosibirsk finished the regular season in third place. And in the playoffs, victories were won over Temp-SUMZ (Revda), Dynamo (Moscow) and Spartak-Primorye (Primorsky Territory). Moreover, in the final series, Novosibirsk was stronger in all three matches. Thus, the first medals of the Superleague for BC "Novosibirsk" immediately became gold, and taking into account the victory in the Cup of Russia, the club issued a "golden double". , Igor Novikov, Igor Smygin, Sergey Bolotskikh were awarded the sports title "Master of Sports of Russia".
After such a successful season, two of the club's players - Sergei Tokarev and Pavel Podkolzin - were called to the training camp of the national team, becoming the only representatives of the Superleague there.
The 2014/2015 season for Novosibirsk was the most productive in the history of Novosibirsk basketball. The “Golden Double” is also valuable because, according to the regulations of the Cup of the country, the Russian Basketball Federation (RBF) provided the right to participate in the FIBA Challenge Cup. At the "Final Four" brilliantly held in the Sever sports complex, the President of the RFB Yulia Anikeeva and the Executive Director of the RFB Dmitry Domani confirmed the right of participation of the owner of the Russian Cup in European competitions. Taking into account the fact that our team intended to enter the high society of national basketball, the VTB United League, in the new season, it was obvious that Novosibirsk basketball was expecting a new stage of development at the highest international level. However, the hopes of the team and fans were not destined to come true. The Council of the VTB United League refused to include Novosibirsk in the number of participants due to the inconsistency of the club's home ground (Sever sports complex) with the League standards. At the same time, FIBA abolished the FIBA Challenge Cup, replacing it with a new tournament, the FIBA Europe Cup. In early August 2015, the club sent open letters to RBF President Yulia Anikeeva and FIBA Europe Executive Director Kamil Novak with a request to include the team in the FIBA Europe Cup roster as the winner of the Russian Cup. But "Novosibirsk" was denied participation, since according to the regulations, only those clubs that represent the top divisions of the championships of European countries should play in this tournament.
Thus, the season 2015/2016 "Novosibirsk" started again in the Super League. Before the start of the championship, the team was rejuvenated, a number of players who made a great contribution to the "golden double" left it - Pavel Alexandrov, Igor Smygin and Alexander Anisimov. Novosibirsk failed to repeat the success of the last season - in the quarterfinals of the Russian Cup, our team lost to the future winners of the tournament PARMA (Perm Territory). BC "Novosibirsk" also stumbled in the playoffs of the Superleague - at the quarterfinal stage. In this case, PARMA turned out to be stronger again. Novosibirsk lost in two home matches, were able to return to the series, scoring two victories on the road, but in the decisive fifth match they lost to their rivals and dropped out of the fight for medals. According to the results of the 2015/2016 Superleague Championship, Novosibirsk finished fifth.
In 2016, Vladimir Pevnev, head coach of BC Novosibirsk, was appointed to the position of coach of the youth national team of Russia. In the European Championship (Division B), the team under his leadership took ninth place, having suffered two defeats in the group stage, which made it impossible to compete for medals.
BC "Novosibirsk" meanwhile entered the new season. The team has undergone inevitable changes in the off-season. The entire front line has changed - forwards Vitaly Ionov, Maxim Zakharov and Yure Shkifich, as well as center Pavel Podkolzin, left the team.
