Twenty-four men's, women's summer basketball events certified

In accordance with NCAA Bylaw 13.13.5, basketball coaches at Division I institutions may attend only institutional basketball camps as defined in Bylaw 13.13.1.1 and noninstitutional organized events -- such as camps, leagues, tournaments and festivals -- held during the July evaluation period and certified under Bylaw 30.15.

The Division I evaluation period for men and women is July 8-31.

Beginning August 1, all events during or outside the July evaluation period must be certified before Division I men's and women's coaches can attend. That requirement was adopted by the Division I membership at the 1996 NCAA Convention.

More information about certification can be obtained from David J. Thurkill, NCAA legislative assistant, at the national office.

Following are the 15 men's and nine women's events recently certified, with dates of the events and names, addresses and telephone numbers of principal owners.
