Does not allow for open communication; relationships to develop.
Event Certification.
Wide variance of quality and dependability of events.

Need to support work/life balance for coaches; promote diversity.
Coaches need more time on campus to focus on current SAs.
Recruiting model should promote informed decision-making by PSAs and coaches.
Need to be mindful of time and money.
Division I women's basketball recruiting legislation should:
Provide enough opportunities to evaluate.
Give enough time to form a meaningful coach/student relationship.
Strive for equitable opportunities for all Division I schools.
Respect the PSA's high school experience – academics and athletics.
Be enforceable.
