The NBL have been dying a slow death

There are thousands of kids playing basketball every weekend in almost every city in every state. These kids all must have at least one parent who takes them to their game. That's a lot of people who are fimiliar with and understand the game.

I dont think the free-to-air coverage is pivotal to the succeess of the league ... does the A-League have FTA coverage? What does matter is putting financially sound franchises in sensible locations, linking them to grassroots hoops, and patience!

Good marketing, nice merchandise ... less hoopla, and less sponsors crap all over the floor, uniforms, seats, etc. will help too. I realise that sponsorship helps to put the product on the floor, but surely from a sponsor point of view, the message is lost amongst the clutter!

Just my 2 cents!

Would be good to see even one of the local stations do some sort of highlights show, part of game replay. Channel 31 or someone like that.
