Text messaging ban will stay in place

The NCAA reiterated its C U L8R for text messaging.

The Division I Board of Directors declined to reconsider a ban on text messaging and most forms of electronic communication between coaches and recruits. In April, the NCAA banned text messaging between recruits and coaches, a ban that took effect Aug. 1.

Unlike phone calls and in-person visits, text messaging was unregulated. Previously, coaches could send unlimited text messages to recruits. The NCAA student-athlete advisory council pushed for legislation on text messaging, saying messages from coaches became bothersome and created financial burden.

After the ban, more than 30 schools petitioned the NCAA to amend the resolution before the Board declined to change any legislation.

Three questions with a TITLE IX pioneer

Per the NY Daily News:

Basketball Hall of Famer Nancy Lieberman grew up playing hoops in Harlem and at Far Rockaway HS in Queens, where she was known as one of the top players in the city - male or female. After she graduated from high school in 1976, Lieberman became the youngest basketball player in Olympic history when she played on the team that won a silver medal at Montreal.

Lieberman attended Old Dominion University from 1976-80, and was the first Lady Monarch to earn a full athletic scholarship. She won back-to-back national championships and an NIT title, and became the first two-time women's national player of the year. She scored 2,430 points, grabbed 1,167 rebounds, dished 983 assists and had 700 steals in just 134 games.

Q: Did you see any impact of Title IX as a high school basketball player? Were the boys' and girls' programs in your school equal?

A: I had the opportunity to play because Far Rockaway was very good and very competitive. You could see a little bit of impact; as slight as it was, it was progress. I think for us, they did the best they could. Did we get the same as the boys? No. I'd be lying to you if I said we had anything close to equality. We had a basketball, softball and field hockey team - but we had teams. Some schools didn't have money to have teams.

Maybe I didn't know that we didn't have equality because we were just happy to play at that time and it wasn't about how cool your uniform was. All we cared about was that we got to play 25 games, play in the PSAL and we got to play basketball.

Q: You played in a few pro leagues that folded after college. When you played in the WNBA at age 38, did you think any of the younger players took for granted the fact that they had all the opportunities to play basketball?

A: No, they're not supposed to know that. It's like young people knowing about slavery, the Holocaust, other social issues. They probably don't because it didn't affect them and they're living in today's world and it's a narrow world, but you can't hold it against them because it's not anything they are living through now. Again, it's not young people's fault; I have never been jealous of Diana Taurasi and Lauren Jackson. I'm glad we took on the struggle for them.

Q: From your time playing at Far Rockaway to your present position as a hoops analyst at ESPN, how do you think Title IX has affected women's sports in general?

A: First and foremost, you and I would not be having this conversation without Title IX. Besides voting, it's the single most important law for women. It gave women a chance to compete, to gain respect. It gave them a chance to have educational opportunities for young people. It's amazing.

Everybody please pass attention to this password business

See the pinned message on the football message board for the details. Since Yahoo and Rivals have joined forces we all need to redo our registration. This is a one-time deal and should be painless. I'm not sure when the changeover will be made but it could happen at any time now.

Shoot me an email if you have any problems. Better yet, call Rivals at 866-2RIVALS (from 9-5 CT time Mon-Fri) and they should handle any questions - I may be offline much of the weekend because I'm heading out of town to a family wedding/gathering.

Hart hires replacement for Dave Munroe

Per the LA Times:

Zach Koebel, who coached the Newhall Hart boys' junior varsity basketball team last season and has been an assistant with the boys' varsity for four seasons, will take over the girls' program.

A history teacher on campus, Koebel replaces Dave Munroe, who announced his retirement from education effective at the end of this school year. In 18 seasons as coach of the girls' program, Munroe had a record of 384-124 and won two Southern Section titles — in his first season, 1990, and in 2006.

"It took a long time because he saw himself as a boys' coach, but he also saw it as a great opportunity," boys' Athletic Director Mike Herrington said of Koebel. "They've had a lot of success, and to follow Dave Munroe, he knows it's going to be tough.

"The girls were elated when they found out he was applying for the job."
