Anyway, just had my first article published on http://www.officiating.com
It is titled "Hoops Down Under" and is by Duane Galle (me!)
Please check it out and let me know what you think?

Great article Duane!
What about your colleges and universities? I noticed you did not mention them in your article. We have 2 groups. Universities play a higher calibre game in the CIAU while smaller colleges play in the CCAA.
We still have a long a way to go to catch up to our American friends...but we're making progress!
Looking forward to your next article,
Jeff

Jeff, thanks for the comments, I will address the state of our Colleges & Universities in my next article. However, in brief, there is no organised College basketball in Australia! This is due to the different structure of both sport in general, and our education system. There are basically no sports scolarships in Australia, and there are few elite university sports teams in any sport.
