been talking to various basketball juniors and they didn't even know the NBL season has started there's been 7 kids I talked to and non of them knew! one of them was a state player too! given that I live in the biggest basketball city, I think NBL has done a terrible job in marketing.
getting players to go out to schools are good but it still reaches the very minority. something is needed to be done urgently! one of the 'legends' in NBL said to me the way it is going there won't be a professional basketball league in Australia in 3/4 years time; although things are changing but unfortunately not for the better. he further said the league has rushed into this season.
