INTERVIEWING HEAD COACH DAN SPENCER
All interview requests with head coach Dan Spencer must be arranged through Scott Lacefield in the Athletics Communications Office.
PLAYER INTERVIEWS
Media requesting player interviews are required to contact Scott Lacefield as far in advance as possible for availability. Players and coaches who are requested will be available - depending on their schedules - each day prior to the start of practice. Practice normally begins at 2:15 p.m. on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursdays with the exception of gameday and travel days.
Requested player interviews will begin down the left-field line 30-minutes prior to the start of practice. Players and coaches will be available up until the time practice begins. The team will usually NOT practice on Mondays, therefore, if a media member wishes to do something special that requires more time, Monday or the scheduled off day during the week is an ideal day for this.
Contact Scott Lacefield in the Athletics Communications Office to set up a phone interview or a special request with a player. Individual phone numbers for all Texas Tech coaches and student-athletes WILL NOT be given to the media.
PRACTICE
All practices are open to the media and the public. Practices will normally begin at 2:15 p.m. and end around 5 p.m. during the week. The normally scheduled off day is Monday.
LIVE TELEVISION
Television stations are welcome to conduct live interviews from Dan Law Field and the stadium can easily accommodate network game coverage. Live interviews will be conducted outside the fence overlooking right field and television trucks can be parked in that area. Please notify Scott Lacefield at least 24 hours in advance at (806) 742-2770 for live television setup.
POSTGAME INTERVIEWS
The Texas Tech clubhouse is closed to the media. Texas Tech players and coaches will be made available in front of the Texas Tech dugout following a brief cooling off period. All interview requests should be made to Scott Lacefield no later than the 8th inning.
