NBL on the ABC
Having wathced that show a few times I don't think those guys are 'general" sports journo's. They are very specific i.e. NRL or AFL or Cricket etc. There doesn't seem to be anyone on there who knows anything about basketball in Australia.
Back when the Lightning were nearly dead I heard one comentator on ABC saying he didn't understand why the 36ers and Lightning didn't just combine and work together. Clearly having no understanding of the differnt entities they are. The leagues they compete in are run by different organisations.
A bit like wondering why the SACA and Adelaide United don't just combine - so they can play the soccer game at Adelaide oval straight after the cricket - to maximise crowds for both!
