Message: [QUOTE="stamfordhusky, post: 3640804, member: 649"] Sorry for the late response, but I just got my Wi-fi back. The above is incorrect. The 20 hour per week rule (and 4 hours per day) ONLY applies to the playing season - which basically starts 42 days before the first game date. Prior to that period, this is the rule: "Bylaw 17.1.7.2.2 Outside the playing season, . . . only a student-athlete's participation in required weight training, conditioning and skill-related instruction shall be permitted. A student-athlete's participation in such activities per Bylaw 17.02.1 shall be limited to a maximum of eight hours per week with not more than four hours per week spent on skill-related workouts." Banned activities are laid out in this rule: 17.4.2.2 Prohibited Activities. Prior to the start of on-court preseason basketball practice per Bylaw 17.4.2 (i.e. 42 days prior to first game), members of the institution's coaching staff may not be involved with one or more team members at any location in any of the following activities except as permitted in Bylaws 17.1.7.2.2 and 17.4.6: (a) Setting up offensive or defensive alignments; (b) Chalk talks; (c) Discussions of game strategy; (d) Reviewing game films or videotapes; (e) Activities using basketball equipment; or (f) Observing student-athletes in any basketball activities even if such activities are not arranged by the institution's coach.
