Is a technical or more "footy" style commentary best?

Our game needs endless new fans who know nil about the technicalities. Growth will not come relying on those who go to games on regular basis. New faces a must so all of us need to bring them along.
I think the commentary is pretty good except when Heel calls the Kings games

Jasmine is the woman every man wants to be.

I feel like if you want to get people interested in your thing, you teach them about your thing. Show them that there are many layers to this sport/league and there is a pursuit of knowledge here, and that that pursuit is fun. You can easily fit a lot of both ocker talk/dumbed-down shit and analysis in a broadcast

I was referring to the AFL / NRL followers.

In Australia 'the average punter' is probably an NBA fan considering the rate that we consume NBA League Pass, last time I checked. So between the average punter knowing the game and Australia being a sport-heavy society, I don't think people's inability to grasp basketball is an issue.

More technical talk in the half-time breaks would be good

"I would suggest that average punter doesn't watch NBL not because they don't like it, it is because they don't understand it."

I would suggest it's because they think it's an inferior or second rate product

In business if you want to expand your business it's worth understanding why people are buying your product and why they are NOT buying your product. I would suggest that average punter doesn't watch NBL not because they don't like it, it is because they don't understand it.
