Amusing people are against the hub, but, football fans are furious that the A-League didn’t do a plan B like the NBL.

As a Victorian I have no issues with more basketball. 
Hub's fine when it is necessary, but the fact they have fixtures before and after says it's not.

It looked like it was necessary.
I’m no Vic fan, but can understand why they have done it.

Truth be told, you can trademark pretty much anything.
The noise (the particular pitch, frequency and timbre) a Harley Davidson makes is trademarked in the US (not sure if it is here).

Why is it necessary though?

If it wasn’t you honestly think they would not hold games in the 2 stadiums that have the biggest attendances? So obviously they have seen evidence that it is, rather than be caught out.

Of course it is. Doesn't Larry still own portions of both?
That is weird. But Harley Davidson wasn't funded by public money though. The Opera House was (in a roundabout way).

The only line of thinking that makes sense to me is that the NBL saw the 3 week gap caused by the Asia Cup Qualifiers and quarantine (Feb 17 - 23) that Australia and New Zealand have to play in the Philippines against the might of Guam and Hong Kong and tried to fill it with this NBL Cup, then realised no one would care about their glorified Blitz tournament so made the matches count to the actual league (I mean who cares that the Breakers lose half their team to the Tall Blacks). So we've ended up with a mess with most teams not getting home games for a month right before all the attention goes back to footy season.

If it was in your home town you'd think it's a great idea!

Nope. No matter where it is, it’s a terrible idea, and is a hub for the sake of a hub.
The NBL is delusional if they think if any game not involving United or Phoenix will attract more than a couple of hundred people.
Looking forward to the NBL starting, have no problem with the hub....safety first from Larry who is a very shrewd operator. Basketball is Australia is lucky to have him.
Realise this may be the wrong thread (not sure if I should start one) but as a Tasmanian involved in basketball really looking forward to watching how the franchise / team / coach develop with the Jackjumpers coming in to the league next year.
CEO of the Jackjumpers said they should announce the coach before Christmas which hasn't happened, hoping there are structures in place for the right person to be appointed to help develop a strong team and launch the franchise succesfully.

yes well.....
not sure how that will work during the season, since we lack a stadium atm. Reckon it is just to get them out of Melbourne in case things heat up over there again.
Yep heard that, you are right about us not having a stadium to play out of......unless they can play in front of 1000 down at Kingston

What are the odds the NBL will just play everyone in Melbourne to protect their precious NBL Cup

Well they’ve gone ahead and moved games out of Victoria... Yet I don’t see how Melbourne will be allowed to play in Perth next week?
Seems stupid to cancel an all Victorian game!

Cheers Biggie - yep bout time it was announced
As a Wildcat supporter do you rate him - what are his strengths / weaknesses?

Totally forgot they called a team the "JackJumpers" until the headline came up on my phone.
He's very good with bigs, does a lot of work one on one with them.
