To the Media Interview Policy All NKU basketball coaches and players are available for interviews with the media following events or practices. All telephone interviews must be arranged through either the sports information office or the head coach. The best time to interview players is before or after practices, but the sports information office will also set up telephone interviews if requested. The coaching staff is usually available during morning hours and will return calls when requests are made through the sports information office. Following the completion of events, NKU players will be available after a 10-minute cooling off period. The locker rooms are private team areas and media members are not permitted inside unless accompanied by NKU sports information personnel. The sports information staff will assist in locating coaches and players for the media after events.

Coach Dave Bezold Postgame Interview NKU head coach Dave Bezold will conduct a postgame press conference in the media room for all home games in The Bank of Kentucky Center. Coach Bezold will begin the press conference 20 minutes after the completion of the game. He will also be available for one-on-one interviews following the press conference.

When requested, selected players will also be brought to the media room for interviews.

Visiting Head Coach Postgame Interview When requested by the media and agreed to by the visiting coach, NKU will conduct a postgame interview for that coach 10 minutes after the completion of the game. The visiting sports information director will determine that coach’s availability prior to the start of the game.
