What SHOULD the NBL do DIFFERENTLY?

1. Revert to NBA rules
2. Bring in a Brisbane team and another Melbourne team
3. Don't play midweek games except for New Zealand on a Thursday night. Get the players to visit schools
4. Limit the amount of Friday games for Melbourne team's due to rep ball
5. Create an Asian cup after the NBL season
6. When travelling try to fixture games in the same state or near state ie Adelaide/Perth, Melbourne/South East Melbourne/New Zealand , Hawks/Kings, Brisbane/Townsville/Cairns
7.Mention before go into the schools
8. Get Netflix on board or get TV coverage
9. Cheap tickets - get the crowds to get the sponsers
10. Basketball presenters to be positive about the game and not be negative towards umpiring or coaching decisions.

adopt all NBA rules as this is the product which people want to watch as it leads to more points & dunks.

Like Koberulz said "I watch the NBL for basketball"

NBA is more entertainment than real Basketball, just look what happened when Delly scraps for the loose ball, the yanks start crying, calling him a dirty player & saying he's taking out peoples legs. Or when he guarded Curry, up in his face, not this "i'll sand 5ft away from you & just stick my hand out.

It pisses me off when NBL schedule games in NSW on Bathurst weekend... We shouldn't be thinking of competing at all ever!

No way would I be happy with Foxtel and as long as I can watch every game on NBL.tv then I'll be happy.

48 minute games is certainly desirable

I like playing each team 4 times a season makes me happy as we get atleast 2 chances to see outstanding imports come to town.

I'm happy to add more regional teams and for them to be community models but no extra team should be entered with substandard courts but I'd love to see Tasmania, Newcastle, Canberra, Geelong enter. I'd like super cheap deals on NBL.tv for members especially in community models for away games.
I think capital city teams should have the rich owners.

I think we need an overhaul on the stats we see during a game as it's utterly pathetic and often wrong and I fell in love with basketball because the statistical side fascinated me and I'm sure there are youngsters out there that would also feel this way if basketball gets its act together statistically.

I'm not smart enough to make a proper opinion on salary caps/points system... I just know I want more teams and even 4 extra teams will dilute even the greatest of dynasties and I think that has its advantages as we have so many role players that you want to see go to the next level in the league!

League really needs to have much better website and articles on everyone would be great. The golden age of NBL made players household names and as great as it would be to get to know your new import before a game; in this day and age we have NBL.com.au and that should be available for every fan to get to see the interviews and highlight packages and player history... Sadly all club websites are poor at this and I think every club website's info should be automatically put on NBL website so we have features and stories on there all the time

I hope this gets to NBL and thanks for the opportunity to express my feelings

Go back to 48 minutes, hate watching a 63-57 game.

You realise that's exactly as entertaining as a 76-68 game, right? It has nothing to do with the length of the game.

If the NBL did that, I'd probably stop watching. There are better-quality entertainmentball leagues I can easily watch; I watch the NBL for basketball.
