For an 82-game season, Hatze Petros sends out a memo to clubs asking for desired dates in late September or early October. Then there’s a back and forth between Hatze Petros and the clubs about what works and what doesn’t from the dates requested. One thing to look for right off the bat is the long road trips for each club based on their arena being booked for a long stretch, so the process starts with booking those trips. Then they look at TV requirements, among other factors, and the process goes right through the third week of June.
