NBL option: State-based teams?

Common knowledge in Vic that Ingles gets seriously drunk after just about every home game in Melb.
The Loft is a popular bar in Melb.

Ingles will also end up in Europe...that is if he is still playing by then as he doesn't appear to interested in basketball, but more interested in getting smashed at the Loft in Melb after games...

Considering most of those players in the aforementioned SA state team (175636) are playing in losuing teams, yes it is only "not too bad". Putting Schenscher in the linejup is a joke as he will be playing in Europe.
this team will never win under this propsoed concept.

Watching college ball is better than watching the NBA. There is far more teamwork and IMO a way better spectacle for basketball purists.

PS. Jason Smith is Victorian and not from NSW.

Vics would kill us (and everyone else) if we had a state based comp!
- Mackinnon
- Anstey
- Barlow
- Kendall
- Smith
Just to name a few...
Actually, WA would kick our butts too!

I dont think there is any need for a age restriction, as i think the best players will get offered the contracts no matter how old they are.
Sure you get the ocasional player who stays in the game a year or so too long, but are there any juniors necisarily better??? plus most teams would have atleast 2 or 3 guys in there 10 under 25 anyway, so i dont see it as a issue.
The top young players like a Ingles, Newley, Jawai will always get a game and then its up to the owners/coaches to decide who is better for there side a veteran or a young player or who the better player is at the time.

Age restriction over 30 is just an idea...
If he is best player in the League he would be one of the 2 or so players in the "age limit cap".

I would think two teams in VIC and NSW and QLD are viable for any potential new league (which will not happen anayway!!!).

2 x News South Wales
2 x Victoria
2 x Queensland
1 x South Australia
1 x Tasmania
1 x Western Australia
1 x New Zealand

Scrap Singapore or also add Northern Territory and team based in Darwin.

10 team competition would be ideal and ensure stronger teams.

I'd also like to see an age restriction - ie. each team can only have 2 players over the age of 30. We need to ensure up and coming talent can still enter the league to esnure Australia remains strong in international hoops.
