Nineteen more summer basketball events are 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 outside or during the July evaluation period must be certified before Division I men's and women's basketball coaches can attend. The requirement was adopted by the Division I membership at the 1996 NCAA Convention.

The 19 events certified most recently include 13 events for men and six for women. Other events previously certified by the Association were listed in the July 1 and 8 issues of The NCAA News.

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

Following are this year's certified events, with sites and dates of the events and names, addresses and telephone numbers of principal owners.
