Reply to "Is instruction from a college coach a Violation of NCAA rules?"

Call them again. Most don't know how to interpret the rule, they are just there to provide information.

The rule states practice or try out, not paid lessons, camps, showcases, etc. That's how UM got in trouble.
The monetary exchange changes things.

Again, in speaking to the D1 coach, a coach has to be careful for that gray area, which might be mistaken as a try out. To each their own. There is nothing there that says anything about paid lessons or camps, is there? The interpretation is like always, vague and leaves it wide open. There are so many coaches that give lessons, they wouldn't do it if it meant infractions against the institution the play for. And the above would prohibit everything else that is allowed.

PG brings up a great point. Aren't some players invited to camp so the coach can see them, that's a tryout,IMO, but once you pay, you have eliminated that gray area.

What is bylaw 13.11. 2 and 13.11.3 are those exceptions?
