[QUOTE="Calvin, post: 1543105, member: 4069"] Right now, my hope is that we have a season. What are teams going to do when a player, coach, staff member, family member, or one of their contacts are positive, and everyone they've been in contact with is supposed to quarantine for 14 days? Seems like you could have an endless stream of 14 day resets, and teams by their very nature involve potential for community spread. The rising cases combined with the astonishing lack of leadership nationally or in certain parts of the country (looking at you Texas et. al.) have me expecting that the pandemic will prevent a return of sports. I suppose we'll get fair warning given there are other sports that have scheduled seasons before bball (correct me if I've got any dates wrong below). Was looking at ESPN and they report some big numbers for cases on certain college fball teams, for example. You hope there are no deaths from these cases, but it seems inevitable that someone has a condition that makes them vulnerable. MLB - July 23 NBA - July 30 College football - tbd & different conferences are working off different plans College bball - same [/QUOTE]
