Coaches agree to code of ethics

ROSEMONT, Ill. – Division I college basketball coaches agreed to adopt a code of ethics and hope to work closely with the NCAA to change or possibly eliminate some of the rules governing the sport.

Nearly 300 coaches met for three hours at a hotel convention center Wednesday to discuss the various ethical problems that have plagued college basketball over the last six months.

NCAA president Myles Brand also attended the meeting – a promising sign for coaches who say they have often felt like adversaries of the NCAA instead of its partner.

The mandatory meeting was called by the 18-member board of the National Association of Basketball Coaches and was closed to the public. Coaches who didn’t attend the session lost the right to buy Final Four tickets.

The meeting was called after a tumultuous year for college basketball that included:

-Georgia and Fresno State declaring themselves ineligible for postseason because of rules violations.

-Players at St. Bonaventure refusing to finish the season after it was discovered a teammate was improperly admitted to the school.
