NBL teams told to stop swearing

Words one might expect to be uttered by Joey Wright during the 36er time outs on Saturday

"I'm not sure"
"We'll do our best"

Loooooool

I agree with the above. Being able to listen to timeouts doesn't really add much anyway - I mean it's always pretty generic stuff anyway.

The NBA sounds is actually interesting because the exchanges that they record are generally funny ones or lighthearted interactions or are genuinely interesting ones.

It's all about control

NBL-approved pronouns

Maybe during timeouts would be a good time for the commentators to talk all the shit.
Instead of crapping on during play.

That said there have been a few entertaining timeouts, so yeah maybe review for quality, and play a snippet as they retake the court.

Then again, what I find entertaining, probably isn't a good look for the league.
Like Gaze's timeouts with the players (and Vickerman) looking at him like he was a complete idiot. Or MU timeouts with that guy with the googles randomly clapping & screaming all the way through Demopolis' talk, or Joey screaming "just go with your gut."

Fuck off

The only time it's any good is the last couple of minutes of a close game, and that's also the only time they're not allowed in. It's mostly pointless otherwise.

But yeah, simple logic should apply. Don't go into a Joey Wright timeout when the Sixers are on a bad run. Don't stay there after the first four times he says "fuck", like the fifth is a total shock.

My favourite one was the 2014 grand final, where they were shocked and appalled at Joey Wright's language while Adelaide were getting belted, apologising and explaining that it was the nature of live TV...then went to commercial while playing an uncensored version of "Aerosol Can".

Remove broadcasting the time outs i think. Doesn't have much value unless you really want to hear what play is being drawn up and i doubt there'd be too many people that care about that anymore. Want no swearing? Dont put the camera and mic in a situation where swearing and tempers are likely.

Go to a replay, show the cheerleaders, go to a stats graphic, or just go to a commercial.

Don't they have a three second delay anymore so they can hit the bleep button when someone swears

Broadcast a select bit of the timeout. I'd rather not hear a live timeout anyway.

FFS

What does the NBL expect when you have grown professional athletes competing.

AFL guys swear as well

Why the fuck doesn't NBL poll their fans and conduct surveys to gauge what the fans actually want to see?

Jesus H Christ on a cross.

I think the NBL should calm the fuck down on this one.
Colourful language happens. Any parent who is unable to explain this to their child should mute their tv during timeouts and then take a Parenting 101 refresher course after the game.

Another Anon I agree. The constant whining is a worse look for the coaches than the occasional F bomb.

I find the First Ever ads more offensive than anything a player could say on court...

does anyone know how much internet nba tv actually uses to stream it live?
