thank you happy new year

It depends if you're talking about NCAA or NAIA. NAIA can approach and talk to players any time. The NCAA coaches may only speak to a player to say something like, good job, hello, great game etc. The conversation can not be extended. The NCAA calls this a bump. The coach may bump into a recruit. The NCAA allows the coaches to call a recruit once a week. The player may call the coaches any time. Most NCAA teams have an 800 number they give to recruits to call them.
