INDIANAPOLIS — The National Association
of Basketball Coaches introduced a sweeping new recruiting model Wednesday
that includes recommending the NCAA grant college players a fifth year of
eligibility and coaches more access to their players in the offseason.
The NABC discussed the proposal at its
annual summer meeting and will submit a revised edition to the NCAA late
this week or early next week.
The most significant changes include
granting players five years of eligibility, allowing coaches to talk to
players outside the traditional player-coach environment and eliminating
official visits to high school juniors in favor of increased phone calls.
"This will change the landscape of
college basketball," said IUPUI coach Ron Hunter, who sat on the committee
that wrote the recommendations. "Where now, me as a coach, could have access
to my kids and be able to help them become a better basketball player or a
better student."
The NCAA asked the NABC nearly three
months ago to help develop a new recruiting model that would address the
student-athlete experience as a whole, both on and off the court, in hopes
of getting more players to come to college, stay in college and stay at the
school they choose first.
The NABC held a 3-hour meeting
Wednesday to get reaction from many of its member coaches. Some recommended
subtle changes, which means another committee must examine the revised
edition before it is submitted to the NCAA for approval.
Executive director Jim Haney was
reluctant to talk about specifics, instead saying the recommendations are
geared toward three goals the committee set — getting players to graduate,
keeping them eligible and from transferring schools.
Tulsa set for TV hoops clash with Sooners
The University of Tulsa basketball team will square
off against the Oklahoma Sooners in the Touchtone Energy All-College
Classic, Dec. 28, as part of an ESPN doubleheader at the Ford Center in
Oklahoma City.
The Golden Hurricane will face the Sooners in the
first game at 6:00 p.m. The other game of the doubleheader pits Oklahoma
State against Gonzaga at 8:30 p.m.
The Tulsa-Oklahoma contest is a part of a three-game
series between the two schools. Oklahoma captured an 81-73 victory this past
season at home.
Oklahoma was originally schedule to return to Tulsa
during the upcoming season, but that game will now be played at the Donald
W. Reynolds Center during the 2005-06 season.
Currently a member of the Western Athletic
Conference, Tulsa has accepted an invitation to join Conference USA in
2005-06.
The complete 2004-05 Tulsa basketball schedule will
be released in August.
