(ii) to have them stay in first class hotels; and
(iii) to have extra-long beds available to them in
each hotel.
If there is a finding that a Team has committed a

are provided to players. In the event a Team’s
head coach flies first class in place of a player, one

be paid the difference between the amount paid by such
Team for a first class seat on the flight involved and
the cost of the seat purchased for such designated player
on that flight.

a willful violation of this Section 2, the NBA shall
