Sports tragic whose enthusiasm far outweighs any actual ability. Love most sport, but especially League (Cowboys), Basketball (Crocs - NBL) and Cricket.

Getting the broadcast rights fixed was the crucial first step in the road back for the NBL. As we know it is all about money. So better coverage (especailly on FTA) for sponsors will help generate more dollars. More dollars will provuide greater financial stability of clubs and eventually allow the league to expand and bring in a Brisbane team and possibly a second Melbourne one. It does not matter how many people subscribe to NBL TV this year, as long as the league sticks with it and the numbers grow. The casual watcher on Ten this year might be a subscriber next year.

Agree it would be good for the league, but (as Michael says) the NBL does not have the financial clout. They could start by doing a better job of promoting their existing talent. If they create some media personalities then they will get some coverage. The most known personality in the NBL today is probably Shane Heal, and he is a coach – we need the next Hammer to stand up.
