I'm sorry if this is a stupid question . . .
When a coach calls if he gets voice mail and leaves a message, does that count as his contact for the week? Or, if they get voice mail do they hang up and try again later?

Hopefully 3FingeredGlove will come in with the fully accurate and 'certified' response, but...
Pretty darn sure it only counts if there's an actual conversation. Many, but probably not all, leave messages. If they leave a message, your son should return the call anyways.

Agree with justbaseball that an actual conversation would be required. The question is largely moot anyway.
D3: There are no limitations on contact.
D2: A rule change effective this year allows coaches to call on or after June 15 following the sophomore year, and there is no limit on the frequency of calls.
D1: Similar proposals to D2 are on the table, and I expect one of them will be adopted, at least regarding frequency of calls. However, the existing D1 rule has no limit on calls from a baseball coach during a contact period after July 1 following the junior year. (13.1.3.1.1) Baseball contact periods vary from year to year, but roughly anytime between March 1 and the middle of November is OK.

Thank you SO MUCH! For some reason we thought it was once/week for D-I beginning July 1.
We appreciate the explanation very much.
The once per week rule was revised in August 2010. It is still in effect during quiet periods.
