The NBA wants to play ball in Europe over the summer. The charter would run similar to NWA's Asia operation: DH over, fly, DH back.

The short call question is in regards to the legalities of consecutive short call assignments. Let's say you are on SC today until 10 PM. At 3 PM skeds assigns you another SC tomorrow AM. You are not released; you must still sit out SC until 10 PM. Can you be considered legally rested when you are technically on duty, even though they didn't use you? Questions are being raised about this practice.
