NBL update ... or lack there of

I was reading the OzHoops boards earlier in the week to see what was going on this off-season and not surprisingly the talk was regarding the new NBL and upcoming announcements from Basketball Australia. Talk had that announcements would come yesterday and to a degree they did.

Unfortunately the announcement is that they have nothing really to announce as yet. Since JR's lips are sealed, click here to read what's being said on the NBL boards.

Basketball players and fans have to continue to wait and hope ...

Basketball Australia Chief Executive Officer Larry Sengstock released the following statement with regard to the on-going Expression of Interest process for the new men’s elite national competition to replace the National Basketball League.

“The Board of Basketball Australia held a meeting last night during which the status of the Expression of Interest process was discussed in detail,” said Sengstock.

“Until the Board is able to clarify a number of outstanding issues they are simply not yet in a position to announce details of the outcome of the EOI process. The complexity of this process makes it necessary to take this additional time, as it is vital that we get it right.

“We do however hope to be in a position to make a full statement with regard to the new national men’s competition shortly. Until we are in a position to announce the ultimate outcome of the EOI, we cannot comment on the specifics of the applications of each of the individual respondents for commercial confidentiality reasons.”
