Why is Pro Ball struggling in Aus
Crowds are also relative, I believe, to the sport itself, the location and population base and the level of tribal or passionate fan base following.
Here in Australia a Pro Sport crowd seen as good compared to one that isn't is vastly different for many sports in comparison.
When we ask the question,'why is pro ball struggling?' we need to be more specific and not only focus on participation levels IMHO...

Adding to the suggestions above... Selfish &/or incompetent club boards. Leaders out of their depth at Basketball Australia & the accessibility of the NBA is at unprecedented levels.
