This in regards to off-season workouts, training, etc. If you aren't familiar with how it was structured in the past...
It was always on the players to keep themselves in shape and make sure they put in the time to develop and fine-tune their skills, because NCAA rules didn't permit coaches to observe, much less offer instruction, during those sessions in the gym.
If college players did want a more structured environment, they might seek out trainers off-campus with whom they could refine their games.
In January, the NCAA's board of directors approved new rules granting coaches limited time to work with their players, including incoming freshmen and junior college transfers, who previously had to wait until the fall to get their first on-court experience with the men for whom they signed to play.
The new rule states that, "In men's basketball, a student-athlete who is enrolled in summer school may engage in required weight-training, conditioning and skill-related instruction for up to eight weeks (not required to be consecutive weeks). Participation in such activities shall be limited to a maximum of eight hours per week with not more than two hours per week spent on skill-related instruction."
