NEW YORK (AP) – 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. The vote was first reported by ESPN.com.
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.”
Sun Belt conference commissioner Wright Waters says it’s time to clean up some of the issues that come with summer recruiting.
Saint Joseph’s coach Phil Martelli, an NABC board member, says it’s too early for coaches to panic. He says the rule may not even be implemented.
