The Age mentions possible names for new NBL

New sport = Chuckball!!!

Description: a new sport originating in Australia in 2008. Lowly admininistrator of Australian basketball who oversaw the demise of the local national league inadvertantly helped create a new sport to recognise his incompetence. Involves the mass launching of basketballs with the direct aim to hit a live human target as many times as possible in as short as time as possible.

I don't like any of those names...there are so many possible combinations. I really liked the A-League name too but now that it is taken...where to?
I can't believe they would even seriously consider tabling "Big League" - that is plain stupid.

Here are some other suggestions to get it started:
- Australian Basketball League (ABL)
- Southern Basketball League (SBA)
- Southern Cross Assocation (SCA)
- Pacific Basketball League (PBL - sponsorship potential???)

I tell you what though, Cowan would be scratching his read right now. Whilst I think two teams in Melbourne is the way to go, the Dragons would be worries right now and getting ready to lobby.
