DISCLAIMER
To make this list, we’ve been making use of;(1) Linkedin profiles
(2) Franchise staff directories
(3) Official Twitter accounts of franchises
(4) Google News alerts.
But, we’ve been having some issues such as;
(1) Some of the professionals listed here don’t update their Linkedin profile when they join NBA teams or leave.
(2) Some of them turned out to be on the business side, not ‘basketball operations’ related.
(3) Additionally, teams might work with independent consultants which are not traceable unless mentioned in a PR bulletin.
Under these circumstances, updating the list requires a significant amount of time, so, help us update the list. Any information with an online reference is appreciated!
