DIVISION II
Administrators asked to check on basketball start date for '02-03
Division II athletics administrators who are building future men's and women's basketball schedules should make certain they are aware of the first permissible contest date for the 2002-03 season and beyond.
The first contest date for 2002 will be November 22. For 2003, it will be November 21 and for 2004, November 19.
The dates are important to note since example dates listed in Bylaw 17.5.3 might suggest that the starting date for 2002-03 would be earlier than it actually is.
The first permissible basketball contest in Division II men's and women's basketball is determined annually by counting back 136 days from the date of the Division II men's championship game.
The men's championship game in 2002 is March 23, but in 2003, it will be played March 29, thus moving the start of the 2002-03 season back six days.

SPORTS MEDICINE
The 2001-02 NCAA Sports Medicine Handbook has been mailed to administrators at NCAA member institutions.
The 92-page book is designed to keep member institutions apprised about trends and developments in sports medicine. Revisions of NCAA sports medicine guidelines also are included.
Administrators who received books include athletics directors, CHAMPS/Life Skills coordinators, conference commissioners, faculty athletics representatives, head athletic trainers, head team physicians, liaisons to student-athlete advisory committees and senior woman athletics administrators.
Members may acquire additional books for $6.50 through NCAA publishing ($13 for nonmembers), or they may view and print all or part of the book at no charge by using the "view" option in the publications section of NCAA Online.
