Confusing history

Looking at the article history, there seems to be significant confusion as to whether Tigers, Cobras, Slammers, Hi-Tech were the same club renamed or different clubs. HanTsî, do you have more concrete information about this? --Paul_012 (talk) 10:56, 9 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi-Tech Basketball Club#References HanTsî (talk) 10:59, 9 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Owner of Thailand Tigers (Mr Wim Reijnen) and Thailand Slammers (Mr Nipondh Chawalitmontien & Mr Surasak Chinawongwatana) are different. Mr.Nipondh Chawalitmontien also is the owner of the Hi-tech basketball club.

Team website of Thailand Slammers was http://www.hitechbasketballclub.com/cts/ [1].

Hi-tech basketball club said "His proudest achievement was being invited to join the ASEAN Basketball League (ABL) in 2010 as the “Chang Thailand Slammers” and successfully won the championship by defeating the Philippines Patriots in both home and away matches."

In 2014, "Hi-Tech became the first team in league history to lift the trophy twice."

@Paul 012

I think the Thailand Cobras were originally going to replace the Thailand Tigers in the 2010–11 season [4] but perhaps Thailand Cobras couldn't find players, the ABL invited Hi-Tech to participate instead?

The Thailand Cobras may be the Bangkok Cobras, which joined the ABL in the 2012 season.

In addition, according to the content added by users in 2010, Thailand Tigers should have owed players wages. (Special:Diff/375507896/378139147) HanTsî (talk) 11:33, 9 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. That is indeed confusing. Might need some work to untangle all of it. --Paul_012 (talk) 11:54, 9 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
