Sport, encompassing its complexity and plural manifestations found in society, is the object of studies that seek, among other objectives, to map and understand its configuration, seeking best practices and results to achieve excellence, especially internationally. Starting from this point, an opportunity was identified to map the configuration of the Entities involved in national high-performance basketball. The national basketball teams have significant international achievements, however in recent decades it has not achieved convincing results. Noting that more recently organizations that manage and promote practice of basketball in the country are mobilizing their efforts to generate growth and to (re)structuring the modality, a qualitative study was proposed to understand and evaluate the management of the high-performance sport of the basketball modality, male and female, in Brazil. Managers from 2 Administration Entities and 7 Practice Entities were interviewed, starting from 10 important points to achieve international success in high performance sports. From the results obtained, it can be verified that the Entities demonstrate concern and understanding of the need of management professionalization, although the chain apparently does not present itself well-defined; the financing is mixed, from several sources of resources, however seems scarce; there is concern in the realization of competitions, however guidelines and actions are not identified, nor a system for the development of sports talent, at national levels, and it is still up to clubs such developments; among other aspects. The findings are in line with the results of other studies involving different modalities in the country.
