NCAA certifies seven men's, five women's basketball events

Another 12 basketball events -- seven for men and five for women -- have been certified by the Association in accordance with legislation regulating Division I men's and women's basketball attendance year-round at camps, tournaments and other activities.

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 -- certified under Bylaw 30.16.

Information about certification of basketball events can be obtained from Doug Archie, NCAA membership services representative, at the national office.

Other basketball events previously certified by the Association were listed in the February 23 and March 16 issues of The NCAA News.

The location of one of the men's basketball events listed in the March 16 issue of the News has changed. The Executive East-West All-Star Classic, scheduled for April 10-11, will be at the University of Louisville's Cardinal Arena.

Following are the events certified most recently by the Association, with sites and dates of events and names, addresses and telephone numbers of principal owners.
