The group looks so different. No Big Three, no Polly, no Kia, no Courtney. Surreal.

In March, you will NOT want to play them.

In March, you will NOT want to play them.

Oh, I completely agree. Still looks odd.

Oh, I completely agree. Still looks odd.

May be they shouldn't wear black clothes.

I wish Kevin DeMille all the best in his new endeavors.

I kept looking and wondering--who am I missing--the big 3 and Kia (olympics) and my girl Courtney (ASU)
I wish the last 5 success (Kia --please only the Silver) and Courtney God carry you in all your ventures--we'll miss you.

Thank you Java Man...

Every time I see Crystal, I can't believe how well built her arms are. Good picture but the girls don't look tired. Are they working hard enough?

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.

I don't know either. But from the looks of things, apparently Darth Vader is the organizer.

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.

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.

Starting in summer of 2012 "coaches will be afforded limited time to interact with players per new NCAA rules. For up to two hours per day -- and up to eight hours per week -- coaches can work with their players, including incoming freshmen, in varying capacities." as long as the student are enrolled in summer classes.

It not that I had a lot of time on my hands My daughter was playing DI ball that summer. This source just confirms my memory.
