Great to see this sort of engagement with fans.
I really like the idea of 3 point dunks.

Yeah I agree they even followed me on twitter, which while I know that they did that just to get me interested, I still really enjoyed that they did that. Would love 3 point dunks, but don't like the quater points thing, because then comebacks don't matter as much

Yeah im not a big fan of the quarter points either or the 4 pointers. Would much prefer bonus championship points being awarded for breaking 100 points a game and shooting fouls resulting in 1 FT + possession.

not just delivering a sub-par product that we don't like

I am one annoyed Melbourne United member who doesn't know how I am going to go taking my kids to Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday or Sunday games each week.

Wish I got asked my opinion first before they "told me" that's what I wanted.

I looked at the survey, saw that the prize involved playing golf and not basketball and left the page.

koberulz, reminds me of basketball teams promoting footy tipping competitions. The AFL don't push basketball tipping competitions.

"I looked at the survey, saw that the prize involved playing golf and not basketball and left the page."

I think this is a little short-sighted to be honest.

While they have not yet delivered anything, the fact that they are trying to identify what the fans want before they implement the new competition is a good approach I would have thought. This is an opportunity to provide your feedback,

I just opened the survey. Its not great.

For example i can disagree, or moderately or strongly agree with an initiative. I cannot strongly disagree, or be neutral. That just sets up a yes vote they spew out in a press release.

The pricing questions should have been asked as a scale type question.

This is a little bit "domestic" when it needs to be NBA. This group is going to be judged on its professionalism, its slickness, its "getting things ticked off" approach. Poorly presented stuff like this won't help.

I have no problem with the prizes, because it is a game of golf with an NBA player and that would be something a club would offer at an auction for a fund raiser

There is no option to leave things the way they are so they need to be careful how they choose to interpret the results.

I was replying to LC there.

And I finished the survey, Isaac can have the game of golf if I win it!

All the gimmicky rules they are asking about are garbage and wont leave them much higher in the eyes of basketball fans than the Harlem Globetrotters.

Doing a survey on surveymonkey.com is also pretty unprofessional in my opinion.

I know they want to be viewed as the "Big Bash League" of Australian basketball but it is coming more off as the "Big Bush League" of Australian basketball

Well I just saw the NBL Fixture and Melbourne Utd have home games on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday nights. 2 are school nights and with domestic games / rep training etc. Friday nights...rep ball. No wonder get to see more SEABL and Big V games as they are on Saturday nights & Sundays...

Not a fan of all the gimmicks. You either accept the game and like basketball, or you don't.

i agree, not a fan of the whole concept to be honest. the gimmicks and all.
how good would it be tho if it was an actual champions league, you know NBL, NZNBL, SEABL and some asian teams too. I know that probably couldnt work cos of players commitments to other teams in those leagues and loosin imports to play for more money in the offseason but hey, if they can suggest 3 point dunks, what dont we jus play crack baby basketball from southpark.
CLB will only damage basketball in this country, no good what so ever will come of it.

I have no problems with gimmicky rule additions. This league probably wont be for basketball purists, but so what? We have plenty of leagues to follow. This league could appeal to a group that the NBL doesn't. It is at least worth a shot. If it fails spectacularly then it wont be so bad provided the NBL actually does improve as promised.
