Lowy wants two-tier A-League in the future
It would depend Isaac; a 2nd Tier league would make Tier 1 look more appealing to international players so long as Tier 2 maintained a standard of play.
a Div 1/2 system would also stimulate improved gameplay from teams that are relegated each year and in turn may raise the standards of basketball in australia.
The REAL catch to it all is asking existing players whether it would be willing to risk not playing at a top tier; there may be those players out there that may just jump ship should a team be relegated down or cause chaos internally for a club should it happen.
It COULD work but you'd need to develop a reputation for the league in general first so a relegation division would still look appealing.
