Recently, the Chinese Men's Basketball Professional League (CBA) introduced a new rule for coaching behavior, that is, only the head coach of the winning team will be interviewed after the game, and the coach of the losing team will no longer participate in the courtside interview.
Yao Ming's reform measure quickly attracted widespread attention and heated discussions among basketball circles and fans. People have expressed their opinions on the reasonableness, necessity and possible long-term impact of this move, and how to balance the image of the CBA league with the rights and interests of players and coaches has become the focus of discussion.
First of all, we need to make it clear that the healthy development of any sports league is inseparable from the careful maintenance of its image. As the highest temple of Chinese basketball, the image of the CBA league is directly related to the overall image and international status of Chinese basketball. Therefore, it is the responsibility of the CBA company and the Basketball Association to regulate and correct the inappropriate words and deeds of the coach in the post-game interview. From this point of view, the introduction of new rules is reasonable and necessary.
But we also need to know that a series of coaches' verbal and written criticisms are not untargeted, and the referee problem has seriously affected the outcome of the game, and in this context there is indeed a need for supervision and advice, but the CBA does not buy it. In the past, Adijiang and Guo Shiqiang respectively made unfair remarks about unfair penalties after the games between Ningbo and Zhejiang Chouzhou Golden Rent and Guangzhou against Xinjiang, and they were punished, and then Du Feng also expressed dissatisfaction with some of the penalties in the game after the game between Guangdong and Shenzhen, which shows that the fundamental problems of the league have not been solved!
Obviously, the problem now is how to protect the freedom of speech and legitimate rights and interests of coaches and players while maintaining the image of the league, so as to better promote the development of the league, rather than knocking down all those who make suggestions and dare to participate in supervision. The game of basketball itself is a contest of passion and competitive spirit, and coaches and players are often in high spirits after the game, hoping to express their thoughts and opinions through interviews. Restricting the right of the losing coach to interview is undoubtedly a restriction on their freedom of speech, and may also affect their motivation and team morale.
In addition, the implementation of the new rules could have a series of ripple effects. Some coaches may feel ignored and depressed because they can't speak up, which can lead to feelings of dissatisfaction and resistance. If this emotion is not effectively channeled, it may turn into dissatisfaction and attacks on referees, opponents and even the league as a whole, further damaging the image and credibility of the league.
In addition, we must also see that the CBA league is currently facing not only the problem of coach behavior, but also deeper problems such as unfair referee penalties and uneven quality of players. These problems cannot be solved by restricting coaches' speech, but need to be achieved through more comprehensive and in-depth reforms.
Therefore, for the CBA league, how to find a balance between maintaining the image of the league and protecting the rights and interests of players and coaches is a difficult problem that it must face and solve. For the implementation of the new rules, CBA companies also need to do a good job of explaining and explaining so that coaches and players understand the meaning and purpose behind them. At the same time, it is also possible to consider setting up some alternative communication channels so that the losing coach can have the opportunity to express his views and ideas, so as to achieve a win-win situation for the image of the league and the rights and interests of the players.
It is worth saying that this time the coach of the losing side banned Du Feng can breathe a sigh of relief. You must know that Du Feng always attributes the failure to the referee's factors, or the player's ability is not good, and he does not implement the tactics well. Maybe for him, this is what he said in his heart and the truth, but after all, he offended people and caused the anger of fans. Now that the interview with the coach of the losing side has been canceled, Du Feng does not have to be forced to make a summary in front of the public, even if he has something in mind, he does not have to make it public, and the contradiction with the fans will not become more acute!
