NBL Expansion Teams

Remember too Mick that the Brisbane team will at this stage be owned by the NBL. Anyone hear conflict of interest again?
Some have suggested that was why Neill left. He was supposed to find owners for Brisbane and couldn't. Now the NBL is stuck with the premature decision to allow them in early with no business plan other than their own.

Carcass, You know that the Hawks have placed the black curtains up don't you? The crowd is dropping like flies and with a high of 3,277 on 10th October the crowd has dropped off just over 1000 in 2 months.
Even you should be able to understand that. Alleged owner interference makes it a tough gig for Gordie and that seems to be everyone's opinion about they way they haven't been playing over their worst consecutive losing recorded recently created.

I said there is a chance there will be no NBL next season. TV rights are a long way off and the Crocs and the Hawks are on the verge of folding.
2 teams possibly leave and replaced by 2. Hardly an expansion.
No other announcement now expected until January so it seems. So who knows.

Agree with Isaac, there's plenty of talent to be spread around. Look at guys like Tom Jervis, he almost missed the NBL boat. All he needed was an opportunity and hopefully there will be a lot more opportunities for some new talents to be discovered. Personally I would like to see a lot of bench guys at the moment getting more minutes. Wagstaff, Hire, Walker, Teys, Creek, Gruber, Te Rangi, Patton, Ellis could all potentially get the opportunity to be more than just role players for their respective teams.

There's no doubt the NBL needs to aim for more teams, but I think the first priority would be to get some stability in management levels.

Almost need a "cleanskin" from outside (maybe some lower NBA guy) to come here and get the competition stable which includes a naming rights sponsor and a vision moving forward.

The NSL transformed itself into the A-League and with that built some strong relationships with the Asian market. It got rid of the racially aligned element and is now reaping the success. Even the netball got their act together with the Trans-Tasman Cup.

Let's get more teams, let's get the right teams and let's get the NBL growing and moving forward

We had a great stat program and BSA wanted to change to go to Live Stats so for the 2009 season all games can be available online. When are BSA going to enforce that this service be done? Otherwise what was the point of changing in the first place?
