BigV crowd behavior.

Not Happy, I agree whole-heartedly based on years of playing and coaching.

Sadly, it seems like players these days can't accept losing, and the fans aren't much better. Whatever happened to the idea of doing your best and accepting that sometimes you just won't be good enough?

The NBL isn't much better - teams that come bottom don't last long, so fans become a lot more feral and demanding. They also want 'entertainment' more than pure basketball, because that's the way the world is, these days (sigh).

You would think with the large number who play that most fans would know the rules, unless it's cos they know only NBA or 2K15 interpretations of the rules.

Interesting comment that it's better for guys to ref girls and vice-versa. I'll look out for that in the next few weeks.

Firstly, how has this become a thread about inconsistent officiating?

Secondly, while the AFL has made a stand in relation to racial vilification, I don't think anything much else has changed when it comes to the crowd abusing AFL umpires...

Basketball isn't anywhere near that bad, not should it be IMHO!

@Not Happy, it is truly unfortunate that this type of behaviour goes on and we have all seen it on occasions, sometimes worse than other times but you are correct there is no excuse for such behaviour.

We all need to take responsibility, so what can be done?

1. At the time, report poor behaviour to the desk or supervisor present for immediate action.

2. Email all the details to that local Association, expect a reply and follow it up.

3. CC that email to the Managing and State governing body, be it the Big V and B.V. on this occasion and also follow it up with an expected reply.

If we all did this, I guarantee something will be done to improve this behaviour, the issue is that we complain about this stuff but don't actually make a formal complaint and inform the organisation concerned.

Lastly, don't give up on the game, I hope your kid gets to enjoy many more games and play basketball for the love of the game for many years to come...
