NBL and WNBL to stick with September to March

It would have been to much of a hot potato to flirt with a different time frame. Had it failed it would have been the death of the nbl.
Now the product needs to talk 4 itself. Hopefully people tune into it & it grows. Free to air will then be a possibility.
Lets stay with sengstock. He's having a crack...

They would have spent $$$ on consultants to tell them that. McKinsey do not come cheap and so I am thinking somewhere at least $100K for a half decent and thorough report, but depends on the time and scope asked of them by NBL.

Would love to see the report and the assumptions made in it. What modelling they have done etc

To me, the key is free to air TV. If bums on seats is a measure of success, then would love to see the following comparision of crowd numbers:

"Golden era" Winter season + free TV:
Summer season + free TV:
Summer season + Foxtel:

kcgone, I'm right with you on a parallel comp along the lines of either the FA Cup or Champions League with Asian teams. I definitely think this type of comp is the right way to expand into the Asian market. Hopefully that can be the next step once NBL teams show some ongoing financial stability.

I think the current timing is about right, so I'm glad they aren't making any radical changes.

I think you are right Isaac: it needs to be tweaked just a little, by ensuring that the season build-up is not overshadowed by the AFL grand final and then trade week. It would have been good to start a couple of weeks after we did - like maybe even this week.

It would also have thought it would be ideal for the playoffs to be played during the April school holidays, but for the moment with only 8 teams, there probably aren't really enough games to stretch that far.

I thought the July to dec option would be worth a shot. Too risky i guess if it fails.

If it aint broken dont fix it but its kinda broken.... try something.

Disappointing result!!
