Can a coach make in-person contact with a prospective student-athlete on the day of an all-star contest?

In the context of NCAA rules, in-person contact between a coach and a prospective student-athlete on the day of an all-star contest is prohibited. This rule is in place to maintain a level playing field and to prevent undue influence on athletes during a time when they are focused on their performance. The prohibition ensures that the athletes can concentrate on the contest itself without external pressures or distractions from potential coaches trying to recruit them. This rule is part of a broader framework intended to regulate recruitment practices and protect the integrity of the amateur status of high school athletes.
