May 14th, 2009 - byToday the NCAA hired Michigan coach John Beilein as the newly created position as chairman of the new men’s basketball ethics coalition. The panel hopes to clarify the rules and the intention of the rules so coaches can’t inadvertently break them. Coach Beilein descibed what he hoped to accomplish.
“There’s a spirit to the rules we all need to follow. We don’t want to be, as coaches, trying to find our way around the rules,” Beilein told The Associated Press. “There’s a spirit we have to live by.”
“We have a great game and an awful lot of coaches who always do things the right way,” Beilein said. “Whenever someone does something wrong, it gives us all a black eye. There are gray areas in terms of recruiting, scheduling and summer camps, and we want to get rid of those gray areas.”
My point to recruits is that if the coaches can’t figure out the rules, how can you? The recruiting porcess is long, complicated and never the same. Are you sure that you’ll be able to naviagte every obstacle in your way? NCSA helps thousands of student athletes reach their recruiting potential by understanding the rules and know ing how to play the game.
