Should NBL season games increase?

If the league was to expand beyond the Brisbane & 2nd Melbourne team, I think Newcastle/Central coast is a must. Lots of fans around there!

Also, NBL is still just as popular in Tassie, maybe look at that.

Canberra.. It has always been a hole for entertainment, I think leave it out.

I like the idea of conferences, development player / age limits to ensure more playing time for juniors, and longer games.

I don't know whether it will fix the problem, though, because it's a coaching mentality - do whatever you need to to win, which usually means putting on experience and big bodies and proven skills.

More games and separate the league into conferences by location . to accommodate for extra travel .

ie eastern conference:

Gold coast . townsville. cairns. Nz. Sydney

west: Perth adeliade Melbourne woolongong and extra Melbourne team

Good call ?.

And 48 minute games

If you want younger players to develop, i believe 48 minute games is the better option.

More games wouldn't mean the younger players would get more chances, just means there will be 10 more games played with the same rotation.

I agree with Isaac, the thing that stops the NBL doing this is venue hire. Venue hire in Australia is the silent killer here. If the team doesn't own the venue they have to hire the venue, rent ranges from 20k - 38k a game. Somewhere like Wollongong has to sell around 3,000 before they even come close to covering venue hire.

I think they should have every team play each other 3 times a season like they used to. I feel it's a much fairer system than the one they are currently doing and easier to work out who finishes where on the ladder if there are multiple teams with the same win / loss record

Yes, I think the NBL season should have more games.

However that's not going to happen because of the following:

1) Not enough funding for the extra travel for all teams.

2) Not enough teams in the league.

3) We're having a hard enough time getting coverage for 3 games per week. With a bigger schedule, you'd have to play games across the whole week (ala NBA) in order to fit the season within that 6 month period.
