old lesson... sometimes you have to be aggressive (marketively speaking) in order to be progressive. Going for the ABA Nationals would be one step that BSA could have taken.

yes, it is over the top in terms of grandiose ideas, but if that is what is needed for the national spotlight to see there are positive signs for South Australian basketball, then wouldn't it be worth it???

Anonymous (#78393), you took my words out of context... i was meaning that West Adelaide has won an NBL championship, and that the Portside Recreation Centre is now the home of that club. So maybe you should ask what I was meaning before suggesting I pull my foot out of my mouth... cause you just did it yourself!!!

very true, easter bunny. I noticed Port has it's history as the home of a NBL championship with West Adelaide Bearcats.

Each stadium may have it's historical value, but like Newcastle getting the ABA National Finals this year... why couldn't BASA have put a combined effort for the DHD and Wayville to host it??? The DHD could have hosted the grand finals... what a great way to showcase South Australia's very good basketball program???

Victoria, especially MSAC and Bendigo have some of the best stadiums in Australia... but even NSW have better stadiums than SA... the worst stadiums of the Waratah clubs that I've seen was at Parramatta Wildcats and Sutherland Sharks ... but even they could beat Marion, Hillcrest, Port and also Morphett Vale. Parramatta had 3 courts, and Sutherland had 4.

Penrith Panthers, Hills Hornets or Central Coast Power could beat Wayville... and Newcastle Hunters or Manly Sea-Eagles would thump all over Pasadena by a mile. I haven't seen Mars, Mt Barker or the Starplex, but I don't know if any of them could really beat the atmosphere for basketball of a Waratah conference stadium.
