Hoops

What would happen if...?

Gotta bit of interest from media, ABL , public etc. in it.

Last time, there was a bit of interest in trialing a shortened game with basket tending allowed, and a few other experimental things.. but, it was close to the olympics.. Now, it's close to Christmas.
But, I will keep at it.
I think U18 is the way to go..
admin@36ers don't reply.. maybe I'll try something/someone else.

clubs stopped poaching? (Allegedly....)

What if.. booga, and , clarky... got woodville u18 to do it.. I could watch my son.. 4 points for dunks etc

What if Basketball was like how footy is in regional Australia, and you got a few hundred people to all of your games and 3000 odd to the GF.

What if the top few regional players in each team were getting $600+ per game!

We seem to solve many of the worlds problems on here so why not!

What if, basketball grew from its hay days in the 90s!!

No way Kingjames should coach. Sorry but that is a BAD idea.

If that happens, could I be in charge of entertaining the WAGS?

what if malone hit his free throws?????

What if the refs called the push off MJ gave Russell????

What if the refs called the goaltend Pippen did in Chicago that cost Shandon Anderson a lay-up???

What if all of these things don't really matter- The Bulls were better.

Acid.

There's not, it's good.
I don't like the arrow or 40mins.
This is some ideas on possible pre-game or half time entertainment.

This gets interest in other sports, like cricket and AFL-pre season. The purists don't like it. But a lot do. Would create some media and public interest.
Those that live a long way from the dome, with fox, probably won't go to a 40min NBL game, without some other attractions, that they don't get on fox.

I mentioned 20/20 to Jason Dix, on air, and he thought there was merit.
Isaac - U18 ABL is best option, really, as you suggest.

How about a 5 point line? Somewhere between half-court and the 3pt line?

Might spread the D even more and it would certainly make the end of games interesting.

What if a dunk was actually awarded 3 points?

Imagine all the little guys trying to throw it down on a fast break...

How about the option for freethrows to be taken from half court with a bonus point the reward?

With the NewNBL being only 40mins.
Maybe, just that short ABA 20/20 game.
3points for dunks etc. I'd probably leave the rings at 10feet.

I'd mentioned in 20/20 version a few things.
Besides the serious game.
You could have a short game with goal tending,jump balls, no free throws- side ball , pass or shoot etc.
I'd like to see, say, Norwood-North, pre game or half time, at the dome.
Again, some think it's a good idea,and, some hate it.

What if Slamball became the dominant version of Basketball? The dome would be decked out in trampolines and padding.

See Davidson bounce at the 3 point line and back-flip over Russell Hinder for the Reverse tomahawk jam.
