I think you will find that The Age link is in another thread about the NBL's new season Isaac.

But you are totally right.

Loving the fact we arn't getting the old play by play.
Player A passes to player B who than passes to player C who than 'insert Casey'ism here'.

Noted to some friends the other night who are longtime bball fans that the commentary is there but not intrussive and you almost forget they are commentating and just enjoy the hoops. They have a relaxed voice/call of the game and ala NBA discuss other things other than where the ball is at that exact moment.

Liking it alot.

There are lots of people in the local television sports industry who have called the game at NBL level. Quatermain has called basketball in the past and so has Bill Woods. I even remember listening to Dennis Commetti call some of the wildcat games. Mark Berreta has called games also. Still wish the great Clinton Grybas was walking the earth, he was brilliant.

Change is good. Australian basketball needs to re-connect with the people. Not sure if continuing with what we had would help facilitate that.

Interesting if it makes free-to-air next season who they may get commentating. If it's on ONE may we see other AFL commentators moving across to call some bball as well perhaps?

I think it is a great mix...the only thing that now needs fixing from this perspective is those hugely biased and annoying NZ commentators!

Heal's defence of Harvey's shot selection last night was amusing.
Is Heal commentating in Adelaide or will it be Gaze?
I still shake my head at the fact that Heal is an assistant coach for the Boomers.
