Minor league baseball continues, NASCAR continues, Olympic trials continue so not sure "the rest of the sports world" is with the NBA and college basketball. That may change but asking government to take charge of my life is not anywhere near my wheelhouse.

Canceling potentially big-turn-out events is not just about telling people what or what not to do. It is about resolving the situation of people throwing an event, having to hire people, caterers, entertainers, etc, for an event that nearly nobody will come to if they are wanting to be careful with their health and the health of their friends, family, and neighbors. Better to reimburse people for canceling an event rather than going through that stress, I figure. That way everyone is on the same page.
