Bagunow publishes independent basketball education, analysis, history, and safety guidance. This policy explains how we select, research, review, and update our work.
Editorial purpose
Our goal is to help readers understand how basketball works: rules, tactics, player development, competition formats, history, and responsible participation. Articles should answer a clear reader question and add explanation, context, or a practical framework rather than repeat a player biography or press release.
Research and sourcing
Writers begin with primary or authoritative sources whenever possible, including NBA and FIBA rulebooks, official league and club records, USA Basketball materials, government health agencies, recognized medical organizations, and established statistical databases. Sources are linked near the relevant section or listed at the end of an article.
Accuracy and independence
We distinguish verified facts from interpretation, avoid presenting opinion as certainty, and explain important limitations in statistics or historical comparisons. We do not accept payment for favorable coverage. Advertising relationships do not determine editorial conclusions.
Health and safety content
Training and injury articles are educational, not individual medical advice. They use cautious language, identify urgent warning signs when relevant, and direct readers to qualified professionals and recognized health guidance.
Updates and corrections
Material errors are corrected promptly. Articles may also be updated when official rules, schedules, guidance, or evidence change. Readers can report a concern through our Contact page or by emailing [email protected] with the article URL and supporting information.
Use of images and automation
Images are selected or created to illustrate the subject and must not imply false endorsements. Editorial tools may assist planning, language review, or illustration, but published claims remain subject to human editorial responsibility and source verification.
