Rick Burton comments on BASA situation

NBL welcomes government action

"The League welcomes the State government's moves to secure the long-term future of basketball in the State of SA," said Burton. "The current financial model under which BASA had been managing the 36ers obviously was not producing optimal financial results and therefore any move to a new model of management is a positive one for the team and the League."

"The NBL will work closely with BSA to ensure the 36ers continue to be one of the League's flagship teams and that they continue to build upon recent improvements in attendance that have seen crowds at the Distinctive Homes Dome increase this season."

Burton added that the 36ers were in no danger of withdrawing from the Philips Championship and noted that the 36ers in fact currently lead the NBL in season-long attendance performance.
