Rob Edwards incident

Two game suspension with one suspended so he misses SEM on Sunday Going to make Taipans life even more difficult especially if Groves and Armstrong don't play again.

Aside from that though for an incident allegedly this serious (given the 'behind closed doors' nature of it, lack of detail and the penalty), how is it acceptable to take over a week to investigate/resolve? And even more unprofessional that he's been allowed to play a game in the interim? If it's so serious it should have been handled within 48hrs in my view.

Thoughts?

Typical NBL dragging their feet and not affording transparency. They're good at posting courtside pics of nuffies on socials, but important stuff like this isn’t given due attention. Remember the Baynes/Forde incident?

If the NBL wasn't viewed as such a minor league, there'd be actual coverage and scrutiny applied to these types of stories. Because the majority of NBL related news comes directly from the league itself and its ignored by most MSM, it can choose to not put out any negative press and no one knows a thing about it.

I stopped reading anything that comes from the league. It has a history of usually putting out boring puff pieces with no serious or controversial issues being addressed publicly. I'll read about the NBL if its from a news source other than NBL Media.

It was telling when the Baynes/Forde footage leaked to non-NBL media last season they put out a press release not addressing the seriousness of the incident but about how annoyed they were that the footage got leaked to the media. Now Nissan Arena is no longer the Bullets home venue, coincidence?

NBL doesn't do the investigations. BA and a 3rd party do the investigations.
