Here is a big problem - Round 1 Nbl started Sept - First Tv Game Late October?Rd 7 , 7 rounds until a televised game? why bother? who cares right?
Major problems of Nbl
* Tv coverage apart from Foxtel almost non-existant
* No Bullets/Kings - Minus a few thousand fans togehter
* only 10 teams
* No billboards,news coverage,hardly ever see basketball in the newspaper,
when was the last time you had seen Nbl get a mention on the news? its
almost like fight club -
The first rule about fight club is you don't talk about fight club.
The second rule about fight club is you don't talk about fight club.
* Salary Cap - the salary cap of a team is still less than a bottom of the barrell Nba player would get for a season , needs to be higher to attract a
decent import player
* Ask anyone on the street who plays in the Nbl? they won't have a clue,
needs an identity like in the boom of basketball .
The league could be so much better, it's just hanging in there at the moment, for anyone that says it doesn't have problems needs to wake up.
I don't understand how less teams will make it better, you do it right or scrap it entirely. Thats my thoughts anyway
