Life without the Association Rules brings change, good and bad

Los Angeles Times

So much has changed in high school sports since the Southern Section voted to eliminate Rule 313 in 2008, otherwise known as the Association Rule. The rule restricted coaches from working with their athletes out of season. You couldn't coach your school's players in off-season games let alone hold workouts after school. The one-hour gym class was it. This is the 10th season of unregulated freedom.
