The SA Shotclock is back for another week including the latest on SA’s local basketball leagues and the NBL1 Central 2025 season
TP is joined for his second of a mid-season series “Around the Courts” by fellow The Collective broadcaster and NBL1 West commentator and expert Eric McFarland and NBl1 East and North expert and podcaster Jacinta “Squin” Govind to look at what’s been happening with our SA linked, born and connected players.
“Downtown” Allan Browne joins the show to help us cover the SA Junior State Basketball Championships and the latest SA Basketball News plus we review the upcoming Round 8 of the NBL1 Central.
TP takes one of his deep dives into the impact of the splits margins and what recent history tells us about the change in advantage for teams as they head into the second round of match ups after the weekend – one for the numbers people not to miss.
Our show however was hijacked in 24 hours with the bombshell announcement and TP, Downtown and Eric have all the insight from Adelaide and Perth on the “Bryce Cotton Call” – and that leads the show off in spectacular fashion with an intro not to miss from the tip-off…
