Now I think they have made it where you can coach your own. Only period that you cant is the dead period which is a couple of weeks toward the end of june.

Two weeks in July they can have no contact with their players. It used to be that instruction was very limited between the end of the season and June 1st but the rules have changed.

I think you are clear to coach now at all times except the dead period. Used to be limited to conditioning and open gyms in off season, but that was changed /rescinded.

Yep. God bless the bluegrass!

Unless a Catholic school where they add an additional week. 3 total.

so it is a free for all except from june 25th-july 9th? year round basketball????

 

Technically, though, to my understanding, a coach can "practice" but cannot make it mandatory until October 15.

 

I guess that's where these statements come in:

 

Following the opening day of school, there shall be no organized basketball practice prior to October 15.

Following elimination, there shall be no further practice or play during the remainder of the academic school year.
