Division I -- NCAA approves three men's, 13 women's basketball events

The Association recently certified 16 more basketball events -- three for men and 13 for women -- in accordance with legislation regulating men's and women's basketball coaches' attendance year-round at camps 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.
