BOSTON -- Boston Celtics coach Brad Stevens isn't quite ready to trade his whiteboard for a tablet, but NBA benches are getting a technological infusion this season, and Stevens is intrigued by the potential of a new digital teaching tool.
For the first time this season, the NBA will allow teams to utilize hard-wired internet connections on the bench to both ingest game film and transfer video with team personnel working in the locker room.
As USA Today noted while first reporting the change last month, teams previously had to edit video in the locker room before manually relaying it to the bench.
