NBA, players to begin federal mediation (AP)

Billy Hunter, executive director of the NBA players union, talks with reporters, Monday Oct. 10, 2011, in New York. NBA Commissioner David Stern canceled the first two weeks of the basketball season after players and owners were unable to reach a new labor deal to end the lockout. Opening night was scheduled for Nov. 1.

The NBA and its locked-out players will use the same federal mediator who tried to resolve the NFL's labor dispute months before it eventually ended. George Cohen, director of the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service, announced Wednesday that he will oversee negotiations between the NBA and the NBA Players Association.
