Women's issues subcommittee develops legislative positions
The women's subcommittee of the Division I Basketball Issues Committee has developed positions on various legislative proposals that are headed to the Management Council for review later this month. The subcommittee, which met October 3, also discussed other pertinent matters, including officiating issues, revenue distribution and ways to increase parity in women's basketball.
The subcommittee reviewed five legislative proposals, including No. 01-87, which would allow student-athletes to enter a professional draft and be drafted without jeopardizing eligibility. The subcommittee did not support the proposal.
The lone proposal the subcommittee supported was No. 01-55-1, which would enhance the restricted coach position by allowing that coach to perform all responsibilities of full-time assistants. The men's subcommittee supports a similar proposal for men's basketball. The Academics/Eligibility/Compliance Cabinet, however, opposes the proposal because it is concerned that such a change would lead to restricted coaches becoming full-time coaches in reality.
The other three proposals the subcommittee did not support were No. 01-72, which would permit an institution to make an in-person on-campus contact with a prospect outside the permissible contact period; No. 01-74, which would permit institutional staff members who do not have basketball coaching responsibilities to participate in certified summer leagues; and No. 01-75, which would establish five-year terms for Division I Men's and Women's Basketball Committee members.
