Problem 1
Inactive and silent Association
We no longer play in a competition that is equal yet nothing gets done about it by the leaders of the sport.
Lopsided week I week out juniors, seniors playing in a comp that they Tain more than they play, clubs putting money into useless imports and event that gets no results

Problem 2
Same old same old
Ina week we are going to all role around stadiums formSate Cmapionships with some clubs no hope of winning, and others pinning on their chest they are the best in a weak comp. some teams will be busting their arse to get to Classics thinking they have made it and achieved by doing it to nearly always play for 13-16

Problem 3
Elite, SASI is outdated , out of touch and boring...

If you think the 18's are bad, stay tuned for July at Wayville

Those results just show how good JS is going.

Wow, WA is not looking so crash hot.

not a high achieving group - how about compare u16 results a year and 2 years ago to see direction

Ok, I'll take the bait.

The issue is endemic with Bsketball from the top down.

The Commissionis:
Made up of too many none basketball people.
Have not had a forward thinking plan at any point.
Have not changed anything in elite district basketball since their tenure

The BSA group:
No real increases in stadiums size or courts used.
Still have not grown numbers in 10 years.
No plan moving forward - we have 3 different domestic models currently operating.
No assistance to clubs who are struggling.

Competition:
No level of comeptition on Friday nights.
No assistance again to help clubs get up to standard.
No expectations on clubs to improve themselves.
U23 competition has been a flop with it being a much lower standard than former reserves comeptition.
Saturday morning competition has no real plan.
Maybe need to review the structure. Pro/rel???
Only development in State Champs, was to allow country teams to amalgamate, has lead to less country teams entering.
No roll out of stadium scoring.
No live online updates.

Referee:
Low numbers
Low standard
No referee accountablity
Referee levels mean we cant increase size on Friday night competition, hence removal of U20 comeptition.

Given all that;

How would we expect anything BUT worsening results???

stronger clubs continue to pillage weaker clubs - to build stocks but reality is talent pool remains same.
smaller clubs basically become feeder clubs to the norwood eagle sturt combo's. These clubs promote and build their reputaions positively - so good on them
lesser clubs struggle to provide meaningful teams to challenge high achievers
high achievers lack competion to improve becomes easy option to join strong group without wanting to work to improve club until of course new recruit comes in and playets lost to the sport
ZONING IS only way forward

Zones won't help

Need to have another forum for CEO to take all the notes, create a useless report and then so nothing about it!

SASI coaches need to be spread out and assist clubs wight he program

No clearances just to try and get a state gig

The basketball that the Tasmanian boys played this week was outstanding to watch. Easily one of the best Tasmanian groups I have ever seen and I have been around for a long time.

I also though that NSW METRO AND VIC METRO were playing equally as well, getting everyone involved and making basketball enjoyable to all spectators.

For those who say that NSW METRO were playing just through Bolden, yes this was the case but as we saw when they played Tasmania in the semi, Bolden only had 8 points but others stepped up and showed that they were a team!

This was a great week of basketball and I thouroughly enjoyed watching the championship.

I think WA provides a good example of what not to do, watch and learn.
