Australia is strongly consider bidding to host the 2017 FIBA Asia Cup or the 2021 FIBA Asia Cup. There is also the possibly of Australia and New Zealand making a joint bid. As FIBA doesn't have control over the NBA or NCAA college basketball, the Australian players in those two competitions won't be released for the international windows in November and February, but they should still be free for the June and September windows. http://www.smh.com.au/sport/basketba...14-giz9iv.html
I have some questions to ask:
- 2 teams from Oceania will participate in the next Fiba Asia Cup. Will this tournament remain with 16 teams? I mean if it remains with 16 teams, Fiba Asia should remove 2 spots from a sub-zone. it won't be fair..
- The rankings will be important for the 2019 World Cup Qualification because only 14 asian teams + 2 teams from Oceania aka Australia and New Zealand will compete (division A https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nlHjj0S9zIM). So I think it's better to have 24 teams. What do you think?
- What are the interests for the NT to play this competition which won't give tickets to the world cup or olympic games? but it can help them to have a better ranking…
