More Hope Than Glory: The Slow Rise and Sudden Collapse of New Zealand Basketball 1982-1991

Inhaltsangabe

Next to rugby, basketball in New Zealand was considered a minor sport until the formation of the National League in 1982. The League not only thrived it succeeded beyond expectations. Sponsorship rose from a token $3000 for naming rights in 1982 to $7 million after ten years. And then the bottom fell out. Like a stock market crash, the sport went from being a multi-million dollar event one day to being broke the next. What happened and why is the story told by Tom Hyde, an award winning feature writer and publisher of NZ Basketball Times during those extraordinary times.
