Coaches upset about possibility of July basketball recruiting ban
Posted Oct 21, 2010
College basketball coaches aren't ready to give up their summer recruiting road trips. They're upset over a proposal that would eliminate July men's basketball recruiting beginning in 2012. The Conference Commissioners Association recently voted 31-0 to recommend the abolition of summer recruiting. Coaches are allowed to evaluate recruits for two 10-day periods in July. Louisville coach Rick Pitino calls the possibility of the evaluation period being pulled "the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard of since I've been a coach."
