Hoops Coaches Recommend Sweeping Changes

The NABC has recommended "sweeping" changes to recruiting. Here are the highlights:

- players get 5 years of eligibility
- allows coaches to talk to players outside traditional player/coach situations
- eliminate "offical visits" to high school juniors in favor of monthly phone calls

The main goals of the recommendations were stated as:
- getting players to graduate
- keeping them eligible
- preventing high transfer rates

Another goal though is to allow coaches more contact with players during the summer. While the stated goal is to allow them to mentor kids academically, let's not kid ourselves. While Luke S is working out with Mackey every morning, wouldn't it be nice if Coach Hewitt could be there also? Seems ridiculous that he is limited in contact.

The one thing missing from all this is the details. That is where you find the truth. So stay tuned.
