The Big Ten Conference would like to thank those media members who have covered Big Ten basketball over the years and would like to welcome those members new to our conference. This media guide is intended to assist in the media’s coverage of Big Ten men’s basketball. Those needing additi onal informati on should contact the Big Ten Communicati ons offi ce. Beginning this year, the Big Ten will no longer produce printed versions of its media guides. As media become more reliant upon the internet, it made sense to move the media guide to an online version that can be updated on a more consistent basis. We will now be able to update records more frequently, thereby creati ng a living document that evolves with the season. The online porti on of the media guide also includes links to current rosters, coaches’ bios and stati sti cs which supplement this PDF document. This also allows the conference to contain costs while “going green”, saving almost one million pieces of paper. The online men’s basketball media guide can be accessed via the conference’s website at www.bigten.org. As always, please feel free to contact us if you have any questi ons or need assistance, and we look forward to working with you this season. COMMUNICATIONS SERVICES Web Site Postseason Awards The Big Ten’s Web site, www.bigten.org, provides a single site for media to access In men’s basketball, coaches and a media panel choose All-Conference teams informati on on every Big Ten men’s basketball program, including weekly re- (First, Second, Third and Honorable Menti on), along with Player, Freshman and leases and stati sti cs for the conference’s schools along with audio of each coach’s Coach of the Year honors.
