Hoyas Practice Question

[nathanhm]

Now that the guys are back from China are they not allowed to practice until Midnight Madness?

Apologies if this is a stupid question.

No organized practice, I'm pretty sure.

Workouts are permitted, and I believe they can play each other, as long as coaches and staff are not in attendance.

I could be wrong.

WELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL WHATS THE ANSWER OUT THERE COME ON HOYAS

OK Lic - four straight posts and it appears you want an answer. You might just use a search engine to answer your question. But here is what I can gather from 5 minutes review and it is consistent with my recollection of what coaches said in China -

Instead of just having a specific date when practices start (usually October 15th), the practice rules allow coaches to work with athletes during September but they are limited to a maximum of two hours of court time per athlete in groups of players no larger than four athletes at any time.

Now I am not sure, but I think starting September 15th, the maximum of 4 players at any given time might be dropped. I also have seen claims that there is rule that says you can have 30 practices in the 40 days prior to their first game of the season -- I have no idea how the China trip impacts that rule.

Any further research on this will be billed at a rate commensurate with my experience on these issues. OK, so because I have no experience, I won't bill you. But you probably are going to get what you pay for.

If you want an answer on allowed practices before MM, I suggest calling Calhoun. He'll know how to skirt around any NCAA rule, no matter the subject.

YES IVE GOT TOO MUCH FREE TIME ON MY HANDS BUT GOING TO WORK NOW go hoyas yes kinda excited about the newbies here yup

[KennaHoya]

Not sure how clear the rules are Lic, but I know this - Hoya coaches know how not to violate them, and need and will get a new practice facility to take advantage of them.

Need to find a search engine? Here: www.thesearchenginelist.com/.

After your trip to China, I am sure it is not the team that is missing access to practice, but you. And I agree - excited about the newbies and also to see the contributions from the oldies who will be goodies! Yupp Yupp love all your pearls of wisdom and your firm clasp on the situation! Yupp Yupp.
