LK Interview - The Australian
Can post the article if needed, but one quote caught my eye above a few of them:
In an interview to mark the coming anniversary of his takeover, Kestelman reveals to The Weekend Australian that the league itself is profitable in its own right, discusses plans for a big increase in the amount of games each team will play and that he would be disappointed if the NBL didn't have "at least 14 or 15 teams within five to seven years".
later in the article
As for what comes next, Kestelman has that target of 14 to 15 clubs playing more games - “we play 28 and the NBA plays 82 plus playoffs, so we should be somewhere in the middle and that will help clubs who derive their revenue from attendance and corporate hospitality” – and in more markets than just Australia and New Zealand.
5-7 Years for another 4-5 teams is pretty intense. He's done so well for the NBL I give him the benefit of the doubt that it can work, but interested to see what that looks like.
