NBA revises player media obligations

Interesting in the wake of the recent Boomers-Twitter comments about accessibility of trainings/players to media:

Also in the 2013-14 guidelines, which appear in the league's operations manual and its media website:

• Practices must be open to reporters, either at the beginning or end, for 15 minutes, down from 30.

• Locker rooms will be open before games for 30 minutes, down from 45. However, both coaches will speak before that window begins. Most coaches previously spoke during the 45-minute window.

• Players must be available within 45 minutes after a game ends.

The league worked in conjunction with the NBA Public Relations Directors Association, the Professional Basketball Writers Association, its players and coaches during the review process.

seems like reasonable expectations from an employer, especially an employer that pays it's employee's very very well.

Nothing wrong with this at all, it is an expectation and other sports could follow this example IMO...

No one's really got an issue with the revised changes... It hasn't really changed to effect the media too drastically.

The major windows that media generally care about are the post-game, which hasn't changed & the coaches pre & post game, which also hasn't changed.

Most players don't make themselves available pre-game, they hide out away from the main locker room area. Media generally don't have a problem with this.
