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:Full story on ESPN
• 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.
