Coaches contact with recruits at camps

Braves7Member

I have a question regarding college coaches attendance at camps throughout the year. I read on the Southern Maryland Baseball Camp website that it is an instructional camp so that college coaches are permitted to attend. It was my understanding that there was a new "dead zone" (from Nov 9 to Mar 1?) during which a college coach was not permitted to make contact with potential recruits unless the instructional camp was on campus. I was also informed that as long as they are paid or on staff that this is an allowable conact. What is the actual rule on this? If what I understand is in fact correct, would camps employing college coaches during this period be in violation of NCAA rules which would effect campers recruitment? If someone would be so kind as to state the actual NCAA rule on this I would appraciate it!

Hi Braves
First of all, it isn't a DEAD period the entire time, but there is a long quiet period during most of Jan and Feb.
Here's a link to the NCAA definitions for you:

My understanding is that so long as the coaches are instructors at the camp, it is permissible for them to be there, but they cannot be there "just to look".
If I'm wrong, others will let us know.
