Reliable basketball writing depends on transparent evidence and a practical way to correct mistakes. This page explains the sources Bagunow prioritizes and how readers can request a review.
Our source hierarchy
- Primary rules and records: NBA, FIBA, official leagues, teams, federations, and competition documents.
- Health and safety authorities: CDC, WHO, recognized sports-medicine bodies, and national governing organizations.
- Research and statistics: peer-reviewed work and established databases whose definitions can be checked.
- Secondary reporting: reputable outlets used for context, with significant claims checked against primary material when available.
How sources appear
Articles link directly to important references in the relevant section or provide a Sources section. A link supports the surrounding claim; it does not mean the source endorses Bagunow’s interpretation.
Requesting a correction
Email [email protected] or use the Contact page. Include the article URL, the specific sentence or data point, why it may be wrong, and a reliable supporting source. We review the original evidence, consult additional authoritative material when necessary, and correct material errors.
What happens after review
Minor spelling or formatting fixes may be made without a notice. A correction that changes the meaning, conclusion, health guidance, or statistical interpretation will be reflected clearly in the article. If evidence is disputed, we may add context rather than remove a well-supported statement.
Updates
Some articles require periodic updates because rules, league formats, health guidance, or records change. An update is not necessarily a correction; it may simply bring a previously accurate article current.
