First off, I apologize for the lack of posts. We've been in a busy patch, but we'll now be posting with far greater regularity.
Second, I hope you had or will have a chance to see my interview on Bob Costas' HBO Show "Costas Now." The show first aired last night at 9:00 P.M. EST, and will air again throughout the week (see schedule below). Armen Keteyian interviewed me one-on-one, and the questioning pertained to the NBA's efforts to institute an age floor for entry into the league. Armen separately interviewed high school phenom Greg Oden (a high school junior who is so highly-regarded that if he were eligible for this year's draft, he would be the #1 pick, hands down), his mother, a high school basketball coach, David Stern, and Billy Hunter. It is a great show, as it dismantles many of the popular myths concerning professional basketball players who happen to be teenagers (e.g., "they're immature"; "they tend to struggle" -- the facts, rather than rhetorically-appealing generalities, prove just the opposite). I hope you get a chance to see it (all times Eastern Standard Time):
Also, many thanks to Bruce Allen of the fantastic Boston Sports Media Watch for his great post on the interview and Sports Law Blog. If you are a Boston sports fan, or just a fan of seeing someone expose the Sports MSN for its inconsistencies, definitely check out BSMW, which, as we discussed in February, broke the story of how a Patriots' beat writer was badly plagarizing Peter King of Sports Illustrated and HBO.
