INFORMATION REGARDING 2021 NCAA DIVISION I MEN'S BASKETBALL COACHES' ATTENDANCE AT ELITE AND JUNIOR LEVEL INTERNATIONAL EVENTS AND NATIONAL TEAM EVENTS
To assist the membership, the NCAA academic and membership affairs staff has collaborated with USA Basketball to provide a list of events men's basketball coaches may or may not attend in the upcoming months. This list is not exhaustive and even though NCAA legislation may permit coaches to attend an event, the governing body may limit coaches' attendance due to the importance of proper national team preparations and gym space limitations.
Note: For coaches to attend and watch practices during FIBA Competitions, coaches need approval from the local organizing committee and each country’s' national team. USA Basketball training camp for U16 competition will be closed to college coaches.
Please note, attendance at events are subject to federal, state/national and local health and safety protocols.
Further, coaches may not attend events for recruiting purposes during the temporary COVID-19 dead period that runs through May 31, 2021. For example: An institution’s coaching staff member may not attend the FIBA 3x3 Olympic Qualifying Tournament in Austria from May 26-30, 2021 as it occurs during the temporary COVID-19 dead period.
