It's coming too late to save Kelvin Sampson's reputation as a college coach, but one NCAA body finally has acknowledged what's been true all along: the phone call rule has got to go.
The Division I Recruiting and Athletics Personnel Issues cabinet is supporting a rules change that would allow unlimited phone calls to prospects during the contact periods for each sport.
The proposed rule is designed to reduce the pressure on compliance offices to monitor phone calls to so many prospects in so many sports, but it also would serve coaches who have so many more important matters to consider. Coaches are limited to initiating one call per prospect per week, but determining whether a call counts is complex because cell phone companies can charge for calls that do not connect.
The rule is easily broken, anyway, by coaches who are willing to use untraceable cell phones or calling cards.
