Nets Adjusting to the New Ball...But Not Happily

[NJNetz]

<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">The same criticism that has resounded around the league's training camps is being heard in East Rutherford just not as loudly: the NBA's new ball is not a good thing. The microfiber ball is too slick, too different in design and could take a whole lot getting used to. Vince Carter even predicted it would hurt shooting percentages. Stu Jackson, the ball's godfather, came calling Wednesday asking for constructive criticism.</div>

Why not change it back?

cause this is a huge deal with the new ball..they announced it and theres so much hype and all the deals are done with it becoming the new official ball and they cant change it now..and even if they did, players would be used to the new ball and have to change back to the old ball

Everyone hates the new ball.

Thanks for the link to the article. I'm actually writing an essay about this for my English class. I need to propose an alternative, in this case going back to the leather balls. Does anybody have any suggestions on how to carry this out that might help my research?
