I have heard that during the late80's early 90's, the NBL was one of the worlds premier competitions.... I believe the inception of new teams has hindered it's support...
To help reserect it, two things are needed....
First, some teams need to be relegated to a 2nd division league, keeping 8 teams. Melbourne Tigers, Sydney Kings, Adelaide 36ers, Perth Wildcats, Brisbane Bullets, Tasmania (New team to make more national) Northern Territorians (New team, once again to make more national), and one of the remaining teams... Most Likely west Sydney Razorbacks...
Appologies to other border/rural teams such as Townsville, Cairns and Wollongong, who will have to begin in the 2nd division....
2nd division something like Townsville, Cairns, Woolongong, Wellington, Auckland (well i dunno NZ, but create a nth vs south rivalry between them...) Sth Dragons, and two more, possibly ACT (new team) and one other....
These teams compete in premier leagues, with two teams each year being promoted and relegated... PRemier of div 2 is elevated, and a playoff between the r/up and 3rd placed team for final elevation... Bottom of Div one relegated, and play off between 2nd and 3rd last to keep their spot...
Creates tension, hype and drama = fans....
2nd, development of state competitions (possibly also premier comps) and High School competitions which could rival the NCAA system....
thoughts?
