No new NBL teams next year

Wait a few more years until expansion.

Expanding the nbl is not what is needed. The talent gets spread out too far. An 8 team comp with top 4 is probably ideal for nbl. Less teams makes the talent in the teams better, thus a better product. Not enough commercial sponsors for more teams. With the nbl less is more. When the nbl expanded last time with Singapore, South Dragons, Hunter Pirates it virtually killed the game. More teams means more money needed to run the sport.

Can't believe the group from Newcastle
http://www.theherald.com.au/news/local/sport/basketball/nbl-hopes-fade-as-tinkler-burnt-by-ffa-trouble/2523230.aspx

Supposedly had a great offer for the NBL in order to get a NBL team back in Newcastle but it didn't happen and the group behind it were "frustrated by the NBL’s continued push to establish a second Melbourne team and attempts to relaunch the Brisbane Bullets while keeping him at arm’s length and as good as rejecting his interest in backing a Newcastle team."

New teams in Melbourne/Brisbane is great, but if they're not ready and Newcastle is, why not?

Good move. If they're not ready, don't force it. Sure it's disappointing, but i'd rather wait than see another team come in the league and fade out in three years time.
