What you do LC is great for Aussie hoops to keep in touch with what is going on in the States and basketball in Australia. Keep it up!

Anonymous, much like BA, we are trying to do our best with the resources we have available.

At PnR, we cover NCAA Div I men and women. We are now also covering state league men and women too, and also the NBL but the WNBL as well. That's a pretty good effort right there.

If we could get more help, we could definitely cover the Aussie HS girls in more depth too.

As for the other levels of college hoops, there are far too many for any one person to cover hence why we focus on D1. We did touch on Metro State throughout the season given how well they were doing and the Aussies on their roster.

Check out our Aussie coverage here: Aussie Hoops

If you know anyone that could help cover the Aussies women in more depth, please have them contact us via our website.

Would be nice though if all the talk was not constantly on the guys playing ball, girls do too and the fact that the pick and roll author has opened up a basketball page unless it's a male only page then as a good reporter should do they show all facets not just the ones that interest them otherwise it's just a personal blog really, which if that's the case should not be getting BA attention

Not to take anything away from Bolden, however both Simmons and Maker are both special IMO.

Simmons and Maker are both likely to be "One and Done" (just one season in college) before going somewhere in the top 10 in the NBA draft.

Simmons is a guard in a 6'9/10" body, whilst Maker has skills of a guard in a 7" frame. Both are dominating at HS level in the US. HS basketball is heavily scouted and scrutinised, and the 'experts' all have them going high in the NBA draft.

As for Bolden he is an exceptional talent also and is a very good NBA prospect too. He is just not in the same league as Exum, Simmons or Maker and that is saying something.

LOL! Well you can't please 100% of everyone %100 of the time!

Rest assured that the HS list will evolve over time and as we gather the resources to do so.

The PnR website is run by a bunch of dedicated basketball enthusiasts like myself who do not get any financial reward for doing so. It is purely for the love of the game and to help increase the exposure of our amazingly talented athletes hailing from our great country, whilst not leaving out the best league and players in the world.

What I can do is pass on some of the legitimate and valid feedback some have posted onto the author of the HS list for consideration to have it updated.

We basically already know that FoxSports are only going to show one-game a week this season. The television coverage sucks and we haven't heard much.

To help spread the love of our game and bring fans together. Do you think we can get some pubs and sports bars showing the games?

It would be cool to have mid-week pub nights to watch the games and meet fans.

What places can we reccomend?

Hampstead Hotel?

Highlander Hotel?

Both have sports bar.

Can we tempt the Casino Sports Bar?

Any other suggestions?
