Then you'll have to shorten the regular season. With all but 3 teams in the entire state making the playoffs, they would last until January if you started a month later. And as for unpopular, here's one that will fall in that category: kids today are from the playstation generation. Not outside enough to be acclimated. Workout in AC in offseason more often than not. These problems were far less common 25 years ago. Just calling it what it is. Don't blame basketball. It starts when it always has. Blame the lame playoff season that we now have in the Commonwealth. Blame the dead period. But it ain't a basketball issue.
