Actually its the QUIET period. It occurs during the signing periods (early and regular) and prevents the coach from meeting off campus. What is allowed is unofficial and official visits, emails, letters and calls.

what about him(coach) talking to a transfer student(with permission from the current baseball coach and school to contact other schools) -is my son affected by quiet period? Haven't received anything from the coach since quiet period start. He doesn't reply to our emails or calls..Is it bad??
Actually it is from mid November to mid February. Give him some time, coaches are wrapping up fall activities.
She, as TPM stated, visits to campus, e-mails, letters, and calls are permissible with a transfer who has received permission from his current coach. However, do you know whether the coach has received that permission yet? Was it forwarded by your son, or did his current school tell you they would send it?
From the tone of your 2nd post, it appears that your son is only looking at one school to transfer to. He may need to start considering other options if he doesn't hear anything in the next few days.
