Over the course of its 35-year history, the Staten Island Basketball League has thrived under the leadership of Commissioner Craig Raucher. Players in the pick-up style, fee-based league range in age from 25 to 65 with an average age of 45. Many of them are experienced high school and college players who never lost their love for the game. Craig Raucher, an executive in the transportation sector, has devoted countless hours of his free time to developing what many players have described as basketball heaven for mature sportsmen craving both the excitement of intense competition and the comfort of indoor hardwood court.
