Has BSA invited all the other clubs to self promote this way? BSA has dropped the ball with posting round stats and summaries when incomplete and seem to be behind in previews more often than not, that it stands out a little when the web site reflects more of Mr Woite's work than the official responsible for ABA news.

Good to see our new BSA employee is doing his job!

The position was CABL Media Coordinator Appointment

David Tonks was the lucky man to get the job now this was done in April

What has he done since being employed???

I really haven't seen much advertisement through the paper or on the Internet

And as for James from Forestville, Good stuff mate keep it up I just wish there was more people like u who had some brains and help out your club!

also

Why should BSA need to ask if each club if they wants to advertise themself???

Clubs should wanna do this without being prompted

Seems the smart thing to do really

Clubs could surely volunteer if they wanted to get similar material up there rather than wait and see if they're asked. Someone volunteers their time to do something presumably for nothing and gets ripped. Too often in SA basketball, more time gets spent complaining than actually doing. How often is there a "Why no Lightning threads?!!" topic rather than the poster, I don't know, actually contributing a decent Lightning thread themselves?

(Please note: only responding to this "Has BSA invited all the other clubs to self promote this way?", not the other points.)

David Tonks (as in David Tonks from Eastern?) is CABL Media Coordinator? Is this a joke? I mean seriously, what does this guy know about media?
The guy struggles to handle his role at Eastern.

Yeah David tonks from Eastern is the new media manager

and your he knows nothing which is why nothing has been happening since he took over the role

This is a crazy topic, Forestville provides their own write up for games, if there is some bias in it, while that is to be expected.
There is no bias towards any club in the official BSA writeups, so deal with it.
If you are interested in seeing a writeup about your club then write one and pass it onto BSA via your club secretary, if it is well written and concise I am sure it will be posted.
David Tonks cannot be at every game so he cannot be expected to have a post game writeup for every team. I have been on this forum for years and I can honestly say i have no idea what you people expect from the basketball community in this state!

Im already involved at ABL games so dont tell me to put my hand up when i already am helping

As for the position for media manager i dont expect Tonksy to be at every game but his job is to coordinate the media so he should be getting onto each club and getting a weekly from the home team so it can be published

He also needs to have a decent weekly preview & results in the Advertiser as well

And as for applying for the position i didnt apply because i already am giving 7 days a week to this sport in SA so i just dont have the time outside my 9-5 job and basketball commitments to do this job

I applied for the Central ABL Media Co-Ordinator role.

(Mod: Sniping.)

I believe James approached BSA re these REVIEWS (not previews) as part of his studies / assessment

Absolutely no slur on the writer of the articles intended just amazed they outshine and out-number the official write ups. I disagree with Isaac because most viewer would see the reviews as part of BSA's role and wouldn't think to write their own. Surely if BSA give permission for this they should notify the clubs telling them the same thing is open to them for the perception of equity.
I think the ABA site is very unreliable from live stats to posted results and I'm not sure whose fault that is but it's rare that all results are in on time if at all and no one seems to take responsibility for it. Are clubs fined for not getting results and stats in by a certain time or is it more casual than that?How can you post round leaders and reviews for a round when you don't have all the round's results?

I didn't apply for the CABL Media Coordinator position as a/ I didn't see it advertised and b/ highly unlikely it would have paid enough.

The Advertiser (30ish% of which is comprised of material driven by PR/publicity companies) doesn't notify any/all PR companies that they accept media releases. Instead, the PR companies work hard to push their clients above others. Nothing stopping clubs from offering free content and I don't know why they'd ever assume it wasn't worth a quick question to find out either.

NO IDEA - try offering some substance in your criticism. Banker may have been blunt with his first assessment, but had put up a bit more info with another post soon after.

Can David explain why the stats for two teams are still not up?
