Just in time for the holiday weekend, the staff has checked in with these:

Basketball Off-Campus Recruiting -- July Evaluation Periods (I)
Date Published: July 1, 2009
The academic and membership affairs staff determined that, in basketball, during the July evaluation periods, an institution may use either the general rule regarding the limit on the number of coaches who may recruit off campus at any one time (i.e., a replaced coach may not engage in additional recruiting activities until after he or she has returned to the institution's campus) or the exception to the general rule (i.e., a replaced coach is not required to return to the institution's campus before engaging in additional recruiting activities, provided no more than three coaches engage in off-campus recruiting activities each day). [References: NCAA Bylaws 11.7.4.3 (off-campus recruiting -- at any one time) and 11.7.4.3.1 (exception -- basketball -- July evaluation periods)]
