NBL has a major sponsor

Yes, I've been M.I.A over the last week or so, I'll explain more in my next post.

Big news came through yesterday that the NBL has a new major sponsor for the upcoming season, insurance broker, OAMPS. This is a great step forward for the league so congratulations to CEO Larry Sengstock and his team for getting the deal done. Hopefully this officially marks the end of the Hummer jokes!

OAMPS Insurance Brokers has been unveiled as a new long-term major sponsor of the National Basketball League competition for the 2009/10 NBL season.

The partnership is a major coup for the League in the lead-up to the new season’s tip-off on 24 September, and follows on from the recent announcement of a new agreement with Fox Sports that will see the NBL’s television live coverage almost double.

Basketball Australia Chief Executive Officer Larry Sengstock said the partnership showed that basketball’s grass roots strength made the sport an attractive commercial proposition.
