On June 17, the NCAA voted to allow basketball programs to begin required activites with coaches starting on July 20. Activities can continue for up to eight weeks, ending either on the first day of classes or Sept. 15, whichever is first. The NCAA had already voted to allow voluntary weight training and conditioning at team facilities, which will continue through July 19.
The Arizona Wildcats have some additional hurdles to clear if all the players are going to return to Tucson by the middle of July. On June 29, Arizona Athletic Director Dave Heeke froze the return of any more student-athletes due to the state’s growing COVID-19 numbers.
