I'm actually on the other side of popular opinion here on the NCAA investigation into Auriemma's call. They are in charge of policing the recruiting policies. While only 13, Mo'ne is just one year away from what is considered the recruiting window. She is reportedly better at basketball than she is in baseball, which is potentially pretty darn good. She has expressed that her goal is to play basketball at UCONN. Putting the pieces together, it isn't very difficult to come to the conclusion that a congratulatory call from the UCONN coach could be interpreted as a recruiting related act. If I were that player with that goal, that would certainly get me more excited about the idea of playing there.

I'm not faulting the coach. He apparently asked if it would be permissible. But I do understand NCAA asking some questions.
