NBA teams have been given the go-ahead to begin opening up their facilities on Friday, but they will face restrictions. Among them will be the team’s head coaches not being allowed to participate or observe players workouts, sources tell Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN.com (Twitter link).
Teams will be able to designate up to six assistant coaches or player development personnel to provide supervision of player workouts, Woj adds.
The Cavaliers, Nuggets, and Blazers all plan to reopen facilities on Friday. Other teams are expected to follow suit next week.
Commissioner Adam Silver and NBPA executive director Michele Roberts will host an all-player call on Friday as well, Ramona Shelburne of ESPN.com reports. The call is intended to be an open forum for players to address any concerns and ask questions, Shelburne writes.
Adam silver is secretly an alien
He’s a tall white
He’s not going to let himself become (a) gray
He is the best commissioner in pro sports
When your competition is Manfred and Goodell, that’s not exactly difficult…
I truly don’t understand the reasoning behind not allowing head coaches to supervise when up to six assistants can do just that. If the reasoning is to keep as few people as possible in the buildings for the time being, that’s an obvious fail.
What is the logic here??
If you can’t allow Popovich in due to his age, maybe no HCs will be allowed in?
Yes and I think more than four at a time can be allowed. A BB court is a big room!
i dont get the assistant hc thing it makes no sense. shouldnt it be let the HC and maybe one or two assistants. not lock out the HC that dumb
