Is the NBL minimum player salary too high?

A lot of teams also train out of stadiums that are occupied at night time with local comps, that bring in money to the stadium.

EG: Hawks would only be able to train at the Snake Pit 1 night a week, even then some months the Snake Pit is being used 7 nights a week with local comps. Hawks get to use that stadium for free.

If they train at other stadiums like Berkeley or Shellharbour then they must pay, and even then half the nights are also taken with local comps, basketball, netball and indoor soccer.

Yes, they are too high.

Especially, when some 10th/11th players don't even play. They are merely training bait.

Another good idea would be to change training times to nightish, 6pmish?

There won't be any effects of switching training from the day to night.
If anything, it will help because teams would be training at a time similar to when they play.

Additional weight training/conditioning sessions could be worked in around job times.

Instead of negotiating player salaries, maybe Holmes could raise the prospect of having regulations in place which force coaches and clubs to have a limited number of day-time training's, a certain time for other days when they must train (e.g. 6pm) and allowing additional training's to be scheduled around work.

Kind of like the NCAA model, but not as onerous.

But who am I kidding..something this drastic wouldn't happen for ages.
