ABL and Salary Cap: Pull SA out of the ABA

ABL may be, but from what I hear the cost of junior basketball (inc subs, playing uniforms, game fees, shoes) is quite a bit more expensive than other sports such as soccer and football, which at the moment are the 2 biggest threats to basketball. Feel free to correct me if I am wrong as I don't have kids playing basketball, but from what I've heard it cost a bit for the average family.

Thats exactly how it happens though. Kids in Primary schools are where the new recruits are, the key is also making it affordable and attractive to their parents.

I agree, get into schools, particularly Primary Schools where a lot of impressionable kids still don't know what sport they want to take up. Development Officers going into schools, doing a clinic and then asking the kids directly to join a local club would help. The more exposure the better, and it doesn't have to be expensive TV advertising campaigns.

Congratulations on your basketball icon Panther.

I agree with most here, pull out of ABA. We should focus on basketball in SA first, then worry about competing with other conferences once we are the envy of them.
