From one of Andy Katz' latest posts: "The National Association of Basketball Coaches board of directors met
with NCAA president Mark Emmert on Thursday in Indianapolis and,
according to at least one source in the room, there is support to close
up a few transfer loopholes. The coaches and Emmert discussed making any
player who wants to transfer sit out a year, even if he or she has
graduated and is seeking a waiver to play immediately at a school that
has a graduate program that isn’t available at the current school. The
discussion also turned to the waiver that allows a player to play
immediately if a relative is ill. That, too, would be closed. The
consensus among the coaches is that if anyone transfers, he should sit
out a year, even if that means a sixth year in college. The coaches also
wanted some sort of universal language on transfer restrictions, maybe
even an NCAA rule that forbids transferring within a conference.
Conferences and schools create their own policies on restricting
transfer"
Somehow the part about coaches sitting out a season when they change jobs failed to make it to the agenda.
