Play-offs, where a surprise defeat by the underdogs saw Leeds crash out in the Quarter-final. On the back of their successful first season appearance in Division 1, Coach Newby re-signed the bulk of Carnegie's senior roster for the 2010–11 season, whilst adding Polish centre Marek Koltun straight out of NCAA Division 1 Lafayette College. Carnegie opened the season with four victories from four in the group stage of the National Trophy, progressing to the 1st Knockout Round where they were drawn against reigning Division 1 Champions Derby. An injury crisis had plagued much of Carnegie's early games in Division 1 regular season, but a spectacular return to form came in time to sweep aside the Trailblazers to advance to the Semi-final, winning 95–75 in the tie which they led by as many as 26 points on two occasions. Having dispatched Leicester Warriors with almost as much in ease in the Semi-final (78–97), Leeds were pitted against three-time Trophy winner's Reading Rockets in the Final in Manchester. Though Leeds started strongly, a dominating performance led by Reading's Matt Guymon ensured the Trophy would return to the Rockets, as they ran out 76–59 winners. Carnegie were able to improve in the second half of the regular season and finished fourth, with a 10–8 win record, in a contracted Division 1 that featured just 10 teams. Having brushed past Brixton TopCats in the Play-off Quarter-finals with an 88–78 victory, and edged Bristol in the Semi-final with an 85–81 win in overtime, Leeds were faced with familiar foes Reading in the Championship Final, in a re-enactment of the National Trophy encounter played just two months earlier. The experience of Reading proved too much again for Carnegie, as they were overturned by a rampant Rockets side, losing 88–63 in Manchester. Leeds' Zoltán Supola led the scoring with 22 points, whilst Division 1 Player of the Year candidate Adrian Fenyn contributed with a 16-point, 13 rebound double-double. American import Fenyn did claim the award for Division 1 top scorer, finishing the season with an average of 22.5 points-per-game. During the summer of 2011 the team went through a major overhaul, and saw the departure of many key players including American's Fenyn, who moved to Division 1 rivals Medway Park Crusaders and Mike Medved. Albert Margai made the move to British Basketball League team Guildford Heat, whilst Hungarian Zoltán Supola returned to his home country to sign
