Keneally talks about an NBL league pass..

Published on June 27, 2012 by   ·   1 Comment

Kristina Keneally took a few minutes out of her busy schedule the other day to talk to the boys  at Melbourne’s SEN. You can listen to the whole interview here (audio)

Some key points to the interview for those who are limited by time or internet usage.

  • The NBL have bought back their digital rights.
  • Next season they intend on having a “digital subscription”. Kinda like NBA league pass.
  • The league plan on showing every game via their digital subscription, including full commentary.
  • Plans for the Boomers/Opals games to also be shown via digital subscription in the futre.
  • The second Melbourne team was pulled due to funding. No other talks about a second Melbourne team mentioned.
  • A national registeration for basketball, making it easier for NBL teams to market directly to local paticipants.
  • Possible re-structure of NBL ownership. Moving away from privately owned teams?

Kristina also talks about the Boomers & Opals farewell series & her history with basketball.

I’m going to be honest here, a part of me thought i might cringe if i heard Kristina talk about basketball, kinda like when your parents or a non basketball fan talks about the game. With their out dated basketball slang like “Oh what a 2 point basket” or “Yes! Slam dunk!” or that drunken friend that always asks you if Michael Jordan or Andrew Gaze still play. But she held her own. In fact, i believe im in love.. I’m joking.. Unless she reads this, then im serious (Call me!).

But seriously, i would just like to thank her for listening to the fans and taking some action to fix (or at least start to) some of the NBL’s wrongs. I’m excited and look forward to what she will bring to BA.
