What is the Media Bench?

The NBA regular season is nearly concluded, and with the arrival of the postseason comes the inevitable parade to the foul line that has gradually become an integral part of professional basketball. While the NBA tries to figure out how to combat declining television viewership, low scoring games, and negative public opinion, we at Media Bench are using a different approach to the league’s concerns: Identifying problems and finding solutions that will satisfy us as fans. Join us as we take an honest and scrutinizing look at the way the game is played today. We will analyze statistics, strategies, officiating, new rules, and other aspects of the game that do not have a real public forum. We are not professional media. We are quite simply passionate, informed fans that feel the need to speak our minds. Think of us as benchwarmers for the conventional media, observing the league from the sidelines and forming our own opinions and solutions from the Media Bench.
