* On 9 April 1983, Šibenka and Bosna played the deciding game 3 of their playoff final series that was decided in the last second: with Bosna up by a point and the clock winding down as Šibenka had the last possession, Bosna's Sabit Hadžić was adjudged to have fouled Šibenka's Dražen Petrović as he went up for a shot at the buzzer. Since being in the act of shooting, Petrović got two free throws and proceeded to score both, winning the game and championship for his team. Next morning, the Basketball Federation of Yugoslavia (KSJ) presidency reviewed the game on account of supposed refereeing irregularities. They decided to void the result, ordering a rematch in Novi Sad. Šibenka decided to boycott the decision. Since Šibenka failed to show up for the Novi Sad game, the title got awarded to Bosna.
