In 1980-81 the team finished third in the league, earning a return to the Serie A. The

Struggles

In February 2011, the Benetton family announced they would be withdrawing their support for professional basketball, effectively calling time on Treviso's top flight status if no other backer could be found. Well-wishers such as former players Paolo Vazzoler and Pittis tried to rouse support for a new club, Treviso Basket 2012. However their application to take Benetton Basket's place in the Serie A was rejected. Since then Benetton Basket has focused only on youth development, with the Under 17 squad their most senior. Treviso is represented in professional basket by
