not ensuring we keep fox or this stupid stupid decision to go for 40 mins game time --WHY WHY

Wildcats cant even make a decision on a new coach .

about how liitle our coach is being paid

Some thoughts Isaac and could be right about Tv but the report was out that it was the cost trouping all over Aust. eg Cairns etc was major then you would want value for moneyin game time . Re Wildcats I am probably wrong it might be fine there . But need to appoint a coach before finalize team and they are usually so proffesional. Re sixers team is coming along well ,but it is not great that team and stadium are trying to be sold and I didnt like to hear Scottys fee was so low to be worthy of note in non sport part of mail. Seems wrong Scotty working his ass of already and getting paid pittance and we paid good money for the lazy one. Whilst you pick areas of my post you didnt give me reasons overall in what direction the NBL is heading . I want to believe. Let

I don't like the idea of switching to 40 minute games either, but it would bring the league in line with other competitions and potentially be more attractive to TV companies.

A number of other issues with the sport you mentioned are club specific. Some ownership changes at two clubs - outside the control of the NBL. Both franchises were always going to live on and have - they might lose a few players, but that's not a huge problem, and probably good for 36ers fans!

Perth will be fine - they have four starting-calibre locals and two spare import spots - can't see them missing the play-offs from that start.

It'd be great if Ninny was paid more for his efforts, but he's fresh blood and was likely in no position to make demands. I'm sure that if he proves successful, that dynamic will change.

And then you have the potential sale of our club and venue - where's the drama? As long as the players/staff get paid and we can still go to games, any impact would be minimal.

If someone like Sam Shahin got his hands on the club, the opportunities for cross-promotion would be significant and hardly anything but a good move.

The NBL will live on in some capacity at least and even if they scale back to fewer teams, Adelaide have too good a support-base to be denied a place in the league. If you were Wollongong, you could be worried, but everything will be fine in Adelaide I'm sure.

On what page is it in the sunday mail about these rumours?

I did not get the sunday mail. Could anyone fill me in on that story , please.

what sort of people make up the staff at the nbl?
are they people for whom it's just a job that don't need to know much about ball or is it the opposite problem- people who think they know too much about it and the old too many chiefs, not enought indians situation?

Response Re sunday mail only one article two weeks ago not in sports area but where the journo had heard what Scotty was being paid and had checked it out to find out the figure was right and thought it was derogative for the job and scotty. Re selling of Sixers and Dome not rumours. Appreciate response Isaac and if Sam Shahin purchases sixers I agree we will be better of.
I only saw it as a If you might know more.
I guess my concern re nbl is that i saw sixers win a final in a packed Rod Laver Arena many years ago although wont happen again dont want to see it decline further and with less TV exsposure leads to less sponsors and owner revenue . Nothing coming out ofnbl top office gives me any good feelings

I heard Ninnis mention that his contract was 'performance based'.
And, with Mal's partner losing his fortune, there has to be change.
