New NCAA rule keeps coaches away from AAU
The NCAA instituted a new rule in which coaches are no longer able to watch players at AAU events in April.
It will result in coaches having to now take someone else's word, making determinations off watching videotape and might lead to an increase in transfers. Potential recruits will still be able to play at these tournaments, but coaches will not get see them.
It was done with the intention to try and limit the amount of school days missed by student-athletes and also to attempt to shift the "power" back from the AAU coaches to the high school coaches.
"It's very difficult now," said coach Sean Miller, who went from Xavier to Arizona this offseason. "Everybody knows the most important way to build a program is to bring in the right players. It's hard when we don't have the opportunity to see them."
For now, coaches are just trying to deal with the situation in April, and hoping that the NCAA will get rid of the ban soon.
