    Beginning with the 2009-10 season, the NBA has issued the following rule relating to the use of electronic communication devices and social media sites and services during games:

    During games, the use of cell phones, PDAs, other electronic communication devices, and social media or networking sites (including Twitter, Facebook and other sites and services) by coaches, players and other team basketball operations personnel is prohibited. For purposes of this rule, “during games” means the period of time beginning forty-five (45) minutes before the start of the game and ending after the post-game locker room is open to the media and coaches and players have first fulfilled their obligation to be available to the media attending the game. “During games” also includes halftime.

    While this NBA rule will apply on a League-wide basis, teams are free to adopt their own rules relating to the use of electronic communication devices and social media sites and services during practices, meetings, and other team events.

    Stern is crackin' down!

    Also, via Marc Stein's twitter page..."Other big rule change that teams were informed of today pertains to the league's attempts to cut down on players standing while on the bench"..."NBA says it's responding to "numerous complaints that the NBA and its teams received from fans during last season" about players standing"
