The Portland Trail Blazers’s introductory press conference for their new head coach Chauncey Billups quickly became contentious last month when reporters questioned Billups about a 1997 sexual assault case in Waltham while he was a rookie with the Celtics.
Blazers PR shut down questions from reporters, telling Bleacher Report reporter Sean Highkin the information about the team’s investigation was “proprietary” and that Highkin and other reporters would just have to trust that the team did its homework (a recent story on OPB suggests they did nothing of the sort).
However, Defector Media’s Diana Moskovitz unearthed 200 documents — including 1,400 pages — of public information about the case.
