2 Washington Media Policies Interview Policy Contact the Athletic Communications Department at least 24 hours in advance for ALL interview requests. Coaches and players are typically available before and after practice on a first-come, first-served basis. Because of NCAA rules, which limit the time student-athletes can practice, it is imperative that media members wishing to interview players before practice be available before the scheduled practice start time. Practices will start on time, and players and coaches will not be interviewed once practice has begun. Student-athletes are not available for interviews on game day. Practice Practice is sometimes open to the media. Location will vary. Please call the Athletic Communications Department to confirm site and time. Credentials All single-game or season credential requests for Husky men s basketball should be directed to the UW Athletic Communications Department by phone or in writing.

Telephones The Athletic Communications Department has limited telephone lines installed in the press seating area and workroom. If media members require dedicated telephone lines, please contact the University of Washington Telecommunications Department, (206) They will arrange to have phone lines installed at your expense.

Photographers may work from the baselines, in accordance with NCAA rules. In no case may a photographer shoot from the sidelines or press row. No tripods are allowed. Passes and photo vests must be visible at all times. Failure to adhere to any regulations, or any interference with play, is reason for expulsion.

Call the Pac-10 office at (925) for details. A taped replay of the entire call is available later in the day, following the call. NCAA Guidelines and the Media Media members should be aware of several NCAA rules that apply to student-athletes. If there is ever a question if any media-related activity or event including a Washington student-athlete could be a possible NCAA violation, contact Sr. Associate AD For Compliance, John Morris, for an interpretation. Areas of concern include: Coaches and University officials cannot make comments on prospective student-athletes until they sign a national letter of intent. A coach cannot comment on a prospective student-athlete who verbally commits to an institution. Coaches and athletic staff are not permitted to write guest columns for publications. Do not ask student-athletes to list or endorse products. Photographers cannot provide student-athletes with photographs or slides. The Athletic Communications office offers a similar service for student-athletes to purchase photographs. Student-athletes may not be used in advertisements or endorsements of products, including media-related publications. Student-athletes are not permitted to conduct interviews for services. Establishing an Internet site in and of itself does not categorize an individual as a media entity. Therefore, individuals who establish Internet sites independent of the institution continue to be subject to all applicable restrictions related to contacting prospects for a recruiting purpose.

4 Bank of America Arena Opened: Facility Facts Capacity: 10,000 Location: Dimensions: Address: Originally opened as University of Washington Pavilion on Dec. 27, Cost was $600,000 for construction that began in Feb Renamed Hec Edmundson Pavilion on Jan. 16, The $40 million renovation began in March, Doors opened on Nov. 24, 2000 to Bank of America Arena at Edmundson Pavilion. Sits on the southeast section of the University of Washington campus surrounded by Lake Washington to the east and Montlake Boulevard to the west. Square feet (ground) 130,000. Length 240 feet x 385 feet Height 66 feet Bank of America Arena 3870 Montlake Boulevard N.E. Seattle, WA Ticket Office: (206) Facilities Office: (206) Huskies Call Renovated Dawghouse Home The Washington men s basketball team has played the last six seasons in the Dawghouse. After playing off campus in for the first full season ever, the Huskies returned to more familiar surroundings in Originally completed in 1927, the arena underwent a $40 million, 19-month renovation between March of 1999 and November of 2000 to reconfigure its interior. The pavilion s name was also renovated. The building is now called Bank of America Arena at Hec Edmundson Pavilion thanks to a $9.1 million gift from Bank of America for naming rights and a 10-year corporate partnership. Despite a seating capacity increase from 7,900 to approximately 10,000, the arena is much more intimate than before. Gone are the infamous roof support pillars that obstructed views of the court. They were replaced by a pair of super-trusses that run the length of the building from east to west. Each supertruss is 245-feet long, 30-inches in diameter and weighs 460,000 pounds. The Pavilion s east end was converted into a practice court for basketball and volleyball. Adorning the west end of the Arena is the Founders Club and a new Hall of Fame museum that proudly displays Washington s outstanding athletic tradition. The expanded area offers much more public access to displays, trophies and historical information in addition to serving as a pregame and postgame reception area. While the renovation of the main arena is stunning, the improvements to the support areas greatly benefit Washington s overall program. They have dramatically increased the space of the sports medicine center facilities, equipment rooms, meeting rooms, media accommodations and locker rooms for many of the UW s teams, including football and men s and women s basketball. The renovation design of Hec Edmundson Pavilion started in the summer of Construction began in March of 1999 and was completed in November of During construction, the men s and women s basketball, volleyball and gymnastics teams each competed in alternate venues. The men s basketball team played its home games at KeyArena in downtown Seattle. Edmundson Pavilion is a monument to durability. The massive brick structure, with its signature Husky gargoyles on the west facade, is in its ninth decade of service. The Washington men s basketball team is competing in the building for the 80th season, a stretch that has allowed the UW men s team to compile more wins in the building (825) than any other team in the nation has won in its current arena. The Huskies have parlayed their return to campus into a return to their winning ways. UW registered a school-record 32-game winning streak from Jan. 29, 2004 to Dec. 29, 2005 season. The Huskies had a perfect 15-0 record at home in 2005 and were 17-2 last season. In its final four seasons before the renovation, Washington registered four straight 12-win seasons and a 48-9 record at home. The Arena renovation is just one of many improvements to the Washington athletic complex as part of the Campaign for the Student Athlete. The $70 million campaign s goal is to ensure national competitiveness for each of the program s 23 sports. The Campaign also helped build an indoor practice facility and the current renovation of the Connibear Shellhouse and student service center. Plans are in the works for complete stadiums for the baseball and soccer fields. PREVIEW COACHES PLAYERS OPPONENTS REVIEW RECORDS HISTORY EXPERIENCE HERITAGE
