On the outer- your comments reflect part of my reasoning for this thread. WE were told the money will be used for umpire development. I realise this will not happen overnught, but have not seen any improvement, so ask if there is a process in place.
You have to feel for a guy near the end of a long day, but unfortunately for them, the players deserve and pay for quality refs, not someone looking to go home for a (deserved) rest.
"There's some short term clicks and buzz, sure. And a few notable people buying into the idea that getting a few % could be a good buy-low proposition (It isnt) but nobody outside of Australia actually cares about the league, and only a limited number of people inside Australia do."
I'm not sure what your point is? Are you saying because the NBL isn't massively popular in Australia and around the world that it isn't a good league? Or isn't relevant?
