Future Hoops.com.au categories

I have long had plans to improve the categorisation of topics on Hoops. One improvement will involve a broader range of categories and another would allow logged-in members a chance to choose the forum index they see. Obviously some of us are interested in NBL, NBA and International. Others may follow Juniors, Coaching, etc but not care for NBA at all.

I'm also hoping to implement a two-tier set of categories.

Please submit any categories you think would be worth separating out. Recent additions have been Europe, Video Games and College. Are there any more you'd like to see? "Coaching" is one suggestion and could include general topics on strategy, improvement, etc. A carefully managed Referees category might also be useful for rule clarifications or announcements about courses, etc.

As an example of the two tiers, imagine NBL with team categories underneath allowing people to follow all NBL threads or just those pertaining to a specific team. Or a Juniors category with state-specific categories underneath. Or College, with "All College" and "Australians in College" categories.

Suggestions please.

Overall, it sounds fine. That referee one sounds problematic, as I think it will be difficult for some to resist the temptation of playing the man (or woman), and not the ball, so to speak.

How about calling it Rules or something like that? People can still come in and talk about how certain referees interpret certain rules, but calling it that will act as reminder about what it's about (ie the ball, not the man).

PS Apologies for the tortured sporting analogy above.

A "School Holidays" category?

Seriously - I think the "Coaching" one is a good idea.

Also a "Results" category underneath NBA, NBL etc

+1 for noticeboards

Maybe something like Aussies Abroad? With sub categories such as Europe, College, NBA etc?

I once asked you if a inter-state category might work now I might extend that category to States with each State as a sub category which might also include New Zealand - this way we can put up stuff specific to our own state and it wont effect those not interested in everyone elses stuff that they know nothing about

Like who is the best domestic team in SA for an example - only people from SA really care about that and they may not be interested in the VJBL or NSWJBL

just a thought

and another might be Basketball News Headlines

just another thought

yes i like that - maybe have a state by state category to encourage some national / interstate activity.

NZ would be good.

and aussie abroad would be great.

A 'legends' category, for people wasting their time on here since it was the old 36ers forum.

baller, yeah, the plan is for ABL (CABL, WABL, QABL, Big V, etc) and Juniors (SA, WA, Vic, NSW, etc). Would be good to better accommodate interstaters.

Anon posters can be both good and bad...would rather at least have to require an alias of some description much like OzHoops...
