Japanese basketball looks like such a mess. I'm hesitant to give them my money by attending a game since they've failed to get their act together for many years. This is a really sad situation for basketball fans and for young people in Japan. The incompetence of the people being paid to manage it is astounding.

So sad. Bureaucratic red tape gets in the way of advancement once again. Well we can always hope that the NBA will come over and have a game or two in Japan.

About time that Japan gets treated the same way it treats "outsiders" in so many facets of society, including sports.

Good. They can't beat around the bush all day and avoid making any changes if they truly want to improve the sport and participate. It's just a shame the players and fans suffer at the hands of clearly inept JBA. If they can't make the decisions, let the decisions be made for them.
