I would love to see a few games whilst in town for my coaching course, however, with finals being on Friday and then Sunday (why?) i cant go due to other commitments.
These commitments being work friday and a basketball coaching course all day sunday.
This very poorly advertised event (i found out it was on in Adelaide by turning on the tv to see it televised) should have been used to raise revenue by PROMOTING it and doing ticket offers for clubs and those associated with the game to fill all those empty seats i am seeing at the stadium.
For Basketball SA to arrange a coaching course the same weekend but at the same time NOT allow us time to see the games was a very bad decision.
10 hours of training on the saturday followed by the finals of the HSH on sunday would have made for an excellent weekend of Basketball.
Not to mention the money i would have spent on merchandise while at the games.....
Bad move guys.

Well, given there is no merchandise, they won't be missing your money there.

Timing is all due to broadcast - there is football on Saturday on Channel 1 I believe, meaning no time for HSH. I believe they will make enough to break-even off of TV rights and sponsorships, so ticket sales is icing on the cake.

I think in that case they should be waaaaaay cheaper, and looking to get as many people in as possible, hence the kids get in to finals for free offer they are doing now.
