NBA Asks Teams To Appoint Facility Hygiene Officer 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Mon Apr 27, 2020 7:44 pm

When the NBA reopens team facilities as soon as May 8th, players must wear facemasks except when in physical activity. Staffers working with players must wear gloves and maintain physical distancing of at least 12 feet.


The NBA has also requested each team assign one senior executive to the position of Facility Hygiene Officer.

Nothing? The league is suggesting teams assign it as an additional duty for one of their senior executives.

I can picture it now: the appointed person will sit in a sky box with binoculars, looking for a player to sweat the wrong way. The courts will be mic’d to pick up any sniffle, cough or fart; all sounds amplified into the suite.

Any staff present on the court will be power washed, poked and prodded after every work out to make sure they are clear; any sign of abnormalities will result in them being barred and shunned for at least fourteen days.

I can’t wait for the NBA to start up again.
