Covering Practice
Practices are generally closed to the media. Working members of the media are required to contact the athletic communications office for clearance as well as for current practice times and locations. Photographers shooting practice are asked to remain off the court and away from the vicinity of workouts.

Photographers
Photography credentials will be issued to certified photographers of daily newspapers and television stations in the viewing area of the competing teams. Credentials will not be granted to unaffiliated freelance photographers. Photographers may shoot along the baseline of the Stuart C. Siegel Center but must stay in the designated photography boxes.

Photographers may not shoot from along the sideline either in front or behind the press/officials tables and must stay clear of free-throw lanes. Credentials will not be issued for equipment handlers. Camera-mounted strobe lights are strictly prohibited.

Postgame Interviews
Both the VCU and visiting locker rooms are located behind the south stands at the Siegel Center. VCU Head Coach Mike Rhoades and selected Rams players will be available for one-on-one interviews after the game.

Media Services
Pregame packets including game notes and statistics will be available in the Terry Sisisky Media Room prior to tip-off. Halftime and final statistics, as well as a running play-by-play, will be provided following the conclusion of the game. Statistical updates will be given to live media during timeouts.
