In March, you will NOT want to play them.The group looks so different. No Big Three, no Polly, no Kia, no Courtney. Surreal.
Oh, I completely agree. Still looks odd.In March, you will NOT want to play them.
May be they shouldn't wear black clothes.Oh, I completely agree. Still looks odd.
I kept looking and wondering--who am I missing--the big 3 and Kia (olympics) and my girl Courtney (ASU)The group looks so different. No Big Three, no Polly, no Kia, no Courtney. Surreal.
I don't know either. But from the looks of things, apparently Darth Vader is the organizer.What's the deal with organized practices in the summer? Can a coach be present? Is it entirely pick-up? Can the coach send them workouts to follow? Curious. I have no idea about it.
It is an ever-evolving area, I think. Definitely no full practices or 5 on 5 games with coaches present, that I am sure. Limited on-court contact, if any, I think. But yes, giving the players drills, a weight plan and all the rest of that are definitely ok, and the team can certainly do organized things - for example, the event out here for UofA season ticket holders to meet the new coach and staff included the entire team, and a recent facebook post indicated they had been doing something charitable, I forget what exactly.What's the deal with organized practices in the summer?

In short, much more than they used to be able to do, but definite strong restrictions. The majority of those restrictions involve limiting coach / player instruction and (at least theoretically) limit the commitment of time demanded of the player. Once the school year starts, there is much more interaction allowed, and full practices after some date early in October.
Perhaps someone with more time on their hands can look up the details, it is in the NCAA Division I manual which is available on-line, I have used it in the past.
