The NBA formally announced its new social media guidelines Wednesday, informing teams through a league memorandum that the use of cell phones, PDAs and other electronic communications devices — and thus accessing Twitter, Facebook and other social media sites — is now prohibited during games for players, coaches and other team personnel involved in the game.
The league has defined “during games” as the period of time beginning 45 minutes before the start of a game and ending “after the postgame locker room is open to the media and coaches and players have first fulfilled their obligation to be available to media attending the game.”
“During games” also includes halftime, according to the memo.
