Is this the end of Australian basketball?

Naaahhhh! Losing the Lightning isn't a big deal. Only a 5 time national champion.

The WNBL is doing fine. The worst is there is no tv coverage as yet.

I heard the mere fact that 'The Ham' was in the country had the TV networks scrambling to sign the NBL up.

I have it from a good inside source that on the back of this the league will be expanding to 30 teams and will rival the NBA within a year.

Justin Hamilton has saved the sport in this country...

If they move WNBL to what they are suggesting, shorten the comp , reduce the comp and insist on making un19s stay and p,ay in WNBL, with NO exposure or money coming into the program....then I'd say it's at least on par with NBL

Yeah, I saw the news that Earnest Ross was not being signed up for a second season and *I too* thought it meant the end of Australian basketball. Totally know where you're coming from.

The exodus of talent heading off to USA college in both men and women could do one of two things,
Strip australia of good players for the future if they then go to Europe/NBA/WNBA
OR
Make it stronger in the next four to six years if they return

I feel it won't be the later as by then there will be no comp to come too
