The point is that it represents illegal contact. You are permitted x number of contacts and visits. She skirted around this kind of claiming a "parental privilege exception." Everyone knew what she was doing. It was a deliberate attempt to circumvent NCAA rules that limit the number of visits by having a special dispensation as a parent. Would other coaches have used it?You can't spend weekend after weekend with a group of people with your kids playing ball together and not develop some level of friendship and regular communication.
Did she take advantage of that. Probably. But maybe she was just being a mom and interacting with other parents about the team and their daughters play.
You have to use some common sense when discussing this particular point.

Do you think this is the first time that a coach has had a kid in the AAU or in highschool? Why is it that they have found a way to avoid such a situation that smacks of illegal visits? Was it effective? Well, as Michelle Voepel and Sally Jenkins noted, four of the five starters on a national title team were on that AAU team. They denoted starters. I haven't checked, but they made the statement, and there were a bunch that made it to Baylor.
Other coaches have avoided even the appearance of illegality. She relished the opportunity to gain a special dispensation advantage.
Now, can we keep the name Kim Mulkey and her minions off the board. We have our own Mulkey coming in, and I'd like the name to become a positive.
