Context to the Perth basketball success story

The Perth Arena was designed with BBL in mind

No it wasn't.

There is also a firm basketball culture in Perth stemming from the golden age 90s.

Perth has always been isolated and when Bball was booming in the 90s many kids paid more attention to the NBA and basketball in general than any other sport.

Our domestic league are constantly filled with social players and their is a massive undercurrent of die hard basketball fans.

WA is basketball country.

But for a long time these fans shunned the NbL for its lack of talent.

Families have brought the wildcats back to prominence and with the steady improvement in talent Perth's basketball savvy underbelly is slowly showing its head again.

Basketball and its culture is massive here. But great management and a bit of luck has kep the wildcats afloat.

What I get from this is that no other NBL team can actually copy the Wildcats system or process to achieve their level of success and durability...

Well, that about does it for NBL expansion then!
