Report: NBA, USA Basketball Execs Surprised By NCAA's New Proposed Rules

NBA and USA Basketball officials were caught off guard by the NCAA announcement regarding prospects who are seeking to play professional basketball, reports ESPN.com's Adrian Wojnarowski.

After the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation started looking into the college basketball and arresting some former assistant coaches in a corruption scheme last year, the NCAA announced they were forming a commission that could address the future of the sport.

The commission sought to give USA Basketball the job of choosing which prospects would be deemed elite so those players could hire agents.

But according to the ESPN report, USA Basketball wants NBA make those decisions, because the league is already in charge of combine process that happens after the college basketball season.
