@Billy, I agree with you on 99% of that one. The NBA is superior to the NBL and we want to watch as much quality hoops as we can.

However if i can point you to look at some Euro leagues and also the PBA who pack stadiums and also have access to the NBA via the internet. Maybe the NBL needs to take a look at what they do and copy it. People love the sport as a whole, and if we can make the NBL attractive then i have no doubts that the crowds and interest will show.

Sub par athletic imports dont help the fact either... It's little things like that who put us behind the 8 ball

Grass roots basketball in Victoria at least is Booming. This extends from juniors through to Big V / SEABL. Plenty of clubs wanting to join up too that are not currently part of these leagues today.

The issues is the translation of support from grass roots to the NBL. The NBL lost connection (in general) with grass roots level and hence the decline in support. The NBL needs to reconnect with grass roots / juniors.
