The PBA has felt their fans becoming less engaged over time. The league doesn't attract as many fans to PBA arenas as they used to, and that may not be the league's fault. The PBA in the 70s and 80s, really all the way into the early 2000s, was such a prime mover in Philippine football.

pop culture and entertainment basketball players were as famous as the most famous singers and actors and not only were they as famous as politicians in some cases they went on to become the politicians and to lose that status even if the PBA's business is in many ways pretty healthy right I mean first of all

The team owners mostly care about marketing their product and having it on TV and now on YouTube and on the internet. And that goal is still achieved. But to feel your status sort of drip away leads them to taking some dramatic measures, looking for that shot in the ass.

So it really starts at last year's PBA All-Star game, where just for fun, hey, let's put this 27-foot four-point line out there.

And maybe the guys will have fun with it, and they did. Four-point play! That game ended up with a guard hitting two four-point shots and one of them with a foul to send the game into overtime, and then they won it.

And that ending, I think, put a little seed in the league's head where they thought, well, if this worked in our All-Star game, why don't we just roll it out for the regular season?

Well, the PBA indeed has its own competition committee. What they didn't do was consult them in this case before the PBA Board of Governors happened to come back and say, by the way, we have a four-point shot now. We loved it at the All-Star Game. We want the game to be as exciting as possible. So congrats, guys. Have fun with this four-point shot.

That's where the PBA's galaxy brain kicks in. What if we don't ask the coaches? They can't go crazy if we don't ask them. And so the coaches of the league were not consulted before the Board of Governors announced announced that there would be a four-point shot.
