courtside reporter

Game-floor journalist

A courtside reporter is a broadcast journalist stationed at the edge of a basketball court during games.

They conduct sideline interviews with players and coaches, report on injuries, and provide observations not visible from the broadcast booth.

The role requires quick thinking and the ability to extract quotes during brief timeouts: The courtside reporter caught the coach right before halftime.
