Bizarre Hoops SA Enquiries
Usually people contact me via this site with reasonable questions - where can I play social basketball, do you mind if I plug a charity event, or the South East Coast Basketball League changing their web URL every few days (just kidding guys), etc.
Occasionally, they're really quite ridiculous. Keep in mind that up until recently, there was a paragraph in the header of every page on the site clearly telling users that this was a forum about basketball in South Australia.
But some people don't read and some of the incoming messages are a bit amusing - I'm putting them up in case anyone finds them funny.
This one was from the US:
I want to know if this is the basketball league for kids where they travel. I want to get my son in the league asap.I responded:
Not quite sure what you're talking about? Can you give me a clue?Their reply:
Is Hoops SA a baseketball league for kids 16 yrs. and under? Do they travel and have tourtaments? And are they sponsered by Nike?
OK. Next up:

DO YOU STILL HAVE THE FITNESS CENTER AND IF SO HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO GET IN?After she found the CAPSLOCK key, that one was followed up by:
