6 fouls is completely idiotic, might as well make it 12 Fouls and punching people i the face is 3 points

get over it, it's 10 minute quarters. We play a Fiba style of game under Fiba rules.
At least NBA teams like Perth play actual hard nose defense, d so tough that fans hate them for it.
When someone throws down a dunk in traffic, they earnt it, there are no easy buckets, especially if you are playing Townsville in the semi's.

I think you'll find watching lay up after layup isn't that exciting (how many guys in this league actually throw it down even in the open court fastbreak?) .
This league isn't quite as athletic as the NBA so even though the scores may get higher you aren't necessarily going to see more highlights or "better basketball". You may see more development players getting on the court for more minutes as with the guys further down the bench getting a few more minutes.
I don't mind 10 minute quarters. Guys like Vukona and Damian Martin get to play hard d all game with less chance of fouling out and the starters are on the court instead of the bench.
