All NBA coaches have to wear masks at all times while coaching

The NBA head coach will have to wear face masks during the games this upcoming season.

Per ESPN, The NBA’s health and safety protocols for the upcoming season mandate that all coaches, including head coaches, wear masks at all times while coaching — a change from the in-game mask policy during the league’s summer restart in Florida. The guidelines warn that coaches “must not regularly pull down their facemasks more than is occasionally necessary under the circumstances to perform essential coaching duties.”
The NBA and NBCA also agreed to continue the practice of more casual game attire, no longer requiring coaches to wear sports jackets, sources said. Coaches voted more than 2-to-1, sources said, to allow for wearing polo shirts in games, sources said. Coaches must wear business attire, such as dress shirts, pants, socks and shoes, sources said. Polo shirts count as a dress shirt. The NBA will disallow sweat-pants and jogging pants.
