While I agree with the above there are lots of people in basketball community who try for YEARS to help but get treated poorly by incumbent local/state execs.

Many are nepotistic, outdated and closed door regimes that tell people to "talk to the hand", and rack up debt, due to financial mismanagement.

Not to long an offer from a local council wanted to hand over the recently upgraded 4 court venue AND pay for a Manager and cleaner was declined by the exec as it was seen as a poor financial move. The token price was $1 - no joke!

Since those who use it have had a spike in rent, power and have to contribute to upgrades for to expedite repair of basketball related equipment. Then we get bumped by event like futsal, social basketball and MMA which PAY more for it, AND we earn $0 revenue from canteen and bar sales.

And then they beg for handouts. Give me a break!

Still paying for the previous financial mismanagement of the states' public basketball affairs - no politician really wants to be seen to reward a sport that had to get bailed out by the public purse.

Actually rather unfair treatment of the rank and file
