WELCOME Donehew and Cullop welcomed board members to the meeting and presented opening remarks. CONSENT AGENDA APPROVAL OF DECEMBER 3, 2019 MEETING MINUTES:

MOTION: Ensor moved to approve the December 3, 2019 meeting minutes. Fortier seconded the motion. Upon vote, the motion carried unanimously.

APPROVAL OF MEETING SCHEDULE FOR 2020-21: MOTION: Ensor moved to approve the meeting schedule for the 2020-21 year. Thomason seconded the motion. Upon vote, the motion carried unanimously.

APPROVAL OF BOARD REMINDERS:

MOTION: Ensor moved to approve the board reminders provided in the meeting materials. Thomason seconded the motion. Upon vote, the motion carried unanimously.

REPORT OF THE TREASURER Lewis reported that through February, the Association was in a great place with almost all WFF tickets sold and fiscal responsibility demonstrated by the staff. Then March hit, convention and Women’s Final Four was cancelled. She noted that a large part of the revenue will go away due to convention refunds. She also noted that the NCAA contract has not been renegotiated yet and total refunds have not been finalized yet. Lewis turned the conversation over to Reynolds to continue the conversation on the sustainability of the Association given current liquidity, assets, and plans to streamline. Reynolds walked the Committee through what has transpired with allocation of WBCA revenue and expenses in the past few weeks.

o Worked to receive forgiveness for all deposits and commitments for Convention. o Staff working from home and expenses frozen. o Working with Morgan Stanley on liquidity of investments. o Association can operate for 12.5 months if nothing done. o If final NCAA payment is received, operational time increases to 14 months. o Applied for Crisis Insurance ($50k). WBCA does not have operational interference insurance. o Federal grants and loans are being explored. o Actual number of convention refunds (and lost revenue) will not be known until next week. o Because the assistance program status is unknown, decision has been made not to lay off or

furlough for the immediate future. o Staff has been given 30-day notice of employer suspension of 401(k) contribution. Employer

contributions can be made as a one-time payment retroactively before the end of the year. o Building has been shut down. Looking at terminating utilities. o Created virtual convention to keep some of the revenue and potentially generate more with

those to sign up who were not planning on coming originally.

Page 8: AGENDA Women’s Basketball Coaches Association Board of ... WBCA BOD Meeting Mater… · i. NCAA coach credentialing [Supplement H]. Cari Van Senus, Watford. j. Pilot coach education

SUPPLEMENT D

o Discussions with AI to renegotiate the contract. Will know by the end of the week what they can do.

o Researching lines of credits with BB&T and Morgan Stanley. Next step would be refinancing building.

o Cancelled summer Coaches Classrooms. o May cancel in-person board meeting in July. o Creating 3-, 6-, 9- and 12-month scenario plans.

Donehew asked for a motion to conduct the July board meeting via Zoom.

APPROVAL OF CONVERSION OF IN-PERSON BOARD MEETING TO VIDEO CONFERENCE: MOTION: Pebley moved to convert the in-person July board meeting to a Zoom video conference. Yelton seconded the motion. Upon vote, the motion carried unanimously.

Eddleman offered to circulate non-profit recommendations from Google, Facebook and Instagram to the board.

WBCA CONVENTION CANCELLATION UPDATE Donehew detailed the conversion from a cancelled in-person convention to a virtual, online, “Power Hour” that the WBCA staff has put together. Reynolds noted that the Power Hour program was not an opt-in program for convention registrants; rather it was an opt-out situation, so the numbers for those who will be participating is not fully known. Gillespie noted that this opportunity was only made possible by the tireless efforts of the staff and board. She continued with a brief overview of how it happened and what the attendees have to look forward to. She also mentioned the staff development of WBCA Q&A Instagram Lives, another source of programming to keep the membership engaged. 1439 people have requested refunds as of this point. Eddleman noted that permission should be received from the presenters and recordings made so that going forward they can be re-used (education, member recruitment). Gillespie confirmed that the presenters have already signed release forms. Cullop encouraged board members to continue pushing out Power Hour on their social media. Pebley suggested having a lower-cost option whereby participants can pay per session. NCAA UPDATES Holzman provided updates from the NCAA. NCAA office is working remotely through the beginning of May. All business meetings going forward are virtual. With the cancellation of the remaining winter and spring championships, NCAA lost about 70% of its revenue. The Association is expecting some level of payment from Interruption Insurance. Due to timing, they did have some savings from expenses that did not need to happen (contractual agreements, etc). Distributions to membership were directly impacted. The national office is working through cuts in programs for this and next fiscal year. The focus is on maintaining mission-critical activities, while suspending or terminating others, including new programs. Specifically, for women’s basketball, much of the enhancements budgeted for have already been conducted. Business will be different going forward,

though how different remains to be seen. The Dream Court was completed in New Orleans. Already looking at how to recognize loss of 2020 championship in the 2021 championship. Donehew expressed thanks to the NCAA for their help in recouping WBCA losses in New Orleans.

Nguyen provided information to the board on how they are keeping the membership updated on the effects of COVID-19 on student athletes. NCAA is providing weekly Q&A updates per division to answer questions as they are received. For recruitment, death period is extended from April 15 to May 31. Conversations will begin around summer recruitment next week. Reynolds mentioned that the Recruiting subcommittee has been resurrected to help formulate a coaches’ opinion. Ensor asked for timing on when summer activities will be postponed. Nguyen responded that at the latest, the announcement would come May 1. Questions were raised about the recruiting shutdown period and if the timing shutdown is being impacted; signing dates especially in light of compliance with admission deadlines; August dead period being removed to make up for lost recruiting time and camps this year. No answers are available now, but Nguyen will bring these topics up with the committee and will circle back when more information is known.

Name, Image, Likeness: 37 states have taken action. NCAA will provide more information when it is known.

Transfer Waiver Working Group: Goal is to have a one-time transfer waiver for academically eligible athletes to transfer to be activated this fall, but it has not been approved yet (approval will be made at the middle of June meeting). Reynolds asked how this information is being communicated. Nguyen will look into this.

Nguyen asked if the board had any feedback regarding the APR for her to take back to the committee. No feedback was given.

Nguyen presented the Former Basketball Student-Athlete Fellow program and asked if there were any questions. Much work has been put into this concept. Donehew expressed support from the WBCA. Nguyen indicated that the men’s side thinks the concept is good too, and is developing a similar program. Ensor suggested presenting this concept as a ‘no additional cost’ option given the current environment.

Reynolds suggested division-specific meetings be held to help disseminate information during this time. Nguyen agreed and meetings will be scheduled.

WBCA POSITIONS MOVING FORWARD Donehew asked the board if there were positions the WBCA should hold during these uncertain times in order to reflect partnership with other stakeholders.

WBCA emailed a position statement from the board and will look for their approval.

Page 10: AGENDA Women’s Basketball Coaches Association Board of ... WBCA BOD Meeting Mater… · i. NCAA coach credentialing [Supplement H]. Cari Van Senus, Watford. j. Pilot coach education

SUPPLEMENT D

WBCA SERIVCE TO MEMBERSHIP DISCUSSION Cullop requested the board think about how the WBCA will be utilizing the Benevolent Fund during this time. Donehew noted that there is roughly $95k in the fund and asked if any limits be applied. Hawkinson offered to continue marketing for the Benevolent Fund and asked for permission to move ahead with seeking additional money for Fund. Board agreed that a limit should be placed on the amount given, but not on how much should be removed from the fund as a whole. APPROVAL OF EMPOWERING EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE TO DEVELOP POSITIONS AS CRISIS UNFOLDS:

MOTION: Ensor moved to support the Executive Committee’s empowerment in decision making as the crisis unfolds. Jones seconded the motion. Upon vote, the motion carried unanimously.

Yelton proposed using Power Hour for PSAs to advertise the fund and ask for additional contributions. Ensor proposed creating WBCA PSAs utilizing seniors who have lost their eligibility. Carson proposed WBCA creating resources for members to navigate circumstances during this time. Open to all (not just Power Hour). Cullop asked about having a WBCA-sponsored social hour for members who may need a mental health break to help combat the isolation that they are experiencing. Ensor suggested WBCA put out programming around stress management. O’Boyle suggested workout sessions Marines-style. Pebley suggested providing information on how to best communicate with your student-athletes. She also mentioned the Student – Athlete Committee and how there is only one women’s basketball player. She asked how we can get more representation. Holzman and Nguyen explained the guidelines. ADJOURNMENT Cullop adjourned the meeting at 2:24 p.m. ET.

The Collegiate Coaching Diversity Pledge

Diversity among coaches and administrators is important for achieving leadership excellence in college athletics and addressing the needs of our diverse population of student-athletes.

AthleticDirectorU seeks to help the continued diversification of head coaches in men’s basketball, women’s basketball, and football by creating the Collegiate Coaching Diversity Pledge.

What is the Collegiate Coaching Diversity Pledge?

The Collegiate Coaching Diversity Pledge (CCDP) is an opt-in pledge by Division I athletics directors to include a diverse group of candidates in the finalist pool for head coach vacancies in men’s basketball, women’s basketball, and football . 1

A “diverse pool” is defined as a group of finalists that includes at least one candidate from a diverse or traditionally underrepresented background and at least one candidate from a non-diverse background . 2

The CCDP reflects a commitment to ensure equal opportunity in the hiring of coaches, and to address the barriers that have prevented full participation of underrepresented minority groups.

How to Comply with the Collegiate Coaching Diversity Pledge

To maintain compliance with the Collegiate Coaching Diversity Pledge, athletic directors must have a finalist pool that includes at least one candidate from a traditionally underrepresented background and one non-diverse candidate. 3

The interview process for all finalist candidates must be substantially equivalent. For example, if the eventually-hired coach received both a phone, neutral site, and campus interview, all unsuccessful finalist candidates must also have participated in the same process.

Caveats and exceptions:

● If an athletics director chooses to promote an internal candidate to head coach, they will remain compliant with the CCDP only if no external candidates were interviewed.

1 We acknowledge that increasing leadership diversity in college athletics requires efforts that go beyond the sports of football, women’s basketball, and men’s basketball. We also acknowledge that the CCPD is not a complete solution to increasing coaching diversity in these three sports. However, we believe that the CCDP is a practical and meaningful step towards increasing opportunities for underrepresented coaches, and will prompt further action to diversify leadership in college athletics.

2The CCDP seeks to ensure that finalist pools for head coaching positions are diverse, and that candidates are not receiving differential treatment based on race. In some states, laws explicitly prohibit any kind of policy in hiring that could be construed as affirmative action.

3A candidate from a traditionally underrepresented background is defined as an individual of Black and African American descent; Asian Americans; Hispanic or Latino; Native Hawaiian and other Pacific Islanders; and American Indian and Alaskan Native Americans as defined by the U.S. Census.

SUPPLEMENT F

Page 13: AGENDA Women’s Basketball Coaches Association Board of ... WBCA BOD Meeting Mater… · i. NCAA coach credentialing [Supplement H]. Cari Van Senus, Watford. j. Pilot coach education

● If any external candidates are formally interviewed during the search process, the inclusion of internal candidates will not be considered sufficient for compliance with the CCDP.

● In certain situations, finalist candidates can remove themselves from candidacy before they complete the full interview process, thus preventing all finalists from experiencing an identical process. In these instances, the school could still be considered in compliance if they demonstrate that the finalist pool would have met CCDP requirements before a finalist candidate withdrew.

Oversight of the Collegiate Coaching Diversity Pledge

The Collegiate Coaching Diversity Pledge will be overseen by an independent Board of Advocates that consists of highly respected individuals from higher education and sports. Confirmed members of the Board of Advocates include: Len Elmore, Mike Lombardi, Merritt Norvell, Arne Duncan, Debbie Antonelli, Richard Lapchick

The Board of Advocates will work with a third-party clearinghouse (James Moore & Co.) to randomly select a meaningful percentage of hires each year to review in order to confirm CCDP compliance.

The review process will proceed as follows:

● After the majority of the hiring cycle for each sport is concluded (for example, in February for football and June for basketball), the third-party clearinghouse will randomly select a meaningful percentage of the hires made in the previous hiring cycle for the review.

● The third-party clearinghouse will contact each athletics director to inform them of the review. The athletics director will describe the hiring process, and provide names and contact information of finalist candidates as necessary to demonstrate compliance with CCDP. This information will be submitted confidentially via phone or through a secure web portal which will not be open to FOIA requests.

● The third-party clearinghouse will confidentiality contact the finalist candidates to verify their participation and the details of the hiring process.

● All information about each hiring process will be kept confidential by the third-party clearinghouse, who will be operating under a strict non-disclosure agreement.

● The clearinghouse will issue a report to the CCDP Board of Advocates that summarizes the outcome of all reviews in a year.

● If a school is believed to be out of compliance with CCDP, a member of the Board of Advocates will contact the athletics director to discuss the situation further.

Page 14: AGENDA Women’s Basketball Coaches Association Board of ... WBCA BOD Meeting Mater… · i. NCAA coach credentialing [Supplement H]. Cari Van Senus, Watford. j. Pilot coach education

● If any disagreements or discrepancies arise, the Board of Advocates will review and decide whether CCDP compliance requirements were met.

A publicly available database of all athletics directors who have agreed to the Collegiate Coaching Diversity Pledge will exist on AthleticDirectorU. The database will also include information about which schools are in compliance with the stipulations of CCDP. On an occasional basis, AthleticDirectorU - via D1Ticker and social media - will publish a list of all athletics directors who are in compliance with the CCDP.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does the CCDP require the inclusion of at least one candidate from a non-diverse background in addition to at least one candidate from a diverse background?

In some states, laws explicitly prohibit any kind of policy in hiring that could be construed as affirmative action. The CCDP seeks to ensure that finalist pools for head coaching positions are diverse, and that candidates are not receiving differential treatment based on race.

Why does the CCDP apply for only football, men’s basketball, and women’s basketball?

We acknowledge that increasing leadership diversity in college athletics requires efforts that go beyond the sports of football, women’s basketball, and men’s basketball. We also acknowledge that the CCPD is not a complete solution to increasing coaching diversity in these three sports. However, we believe that the CCDP is a practical and meaningful step towards increasing opportunities for underrepresented coaches, and will prompt further action to diversify leadership in college athletics.

I’ve read reports that the Rooney Rule isn’t working that well. How will the CCDP be different?

The CCPD’s review mechanism assures that all finalist candidates receive equal treatment in the hiring process. Additionally, since the CCDP is an opt-in agreement, we expect that participating schools and athletics directors will be inclined to support its objectives.

Who will oversee the CCDP?

The CCDP is overseen by an independent Board of Advocates. AthleticDirectorU has partnered with a third-party accounting firm - James Moore & Co - to monitor compliance with the CCDP and make sure that candidate information is kept secure and confidential.

How can I be assured that candidate information will be kept confidential during the review process?

James Moore & Co and the Board of Advocates will be working under a non-disclosure agreement that specifically prohibits the release of candidate names.

SUPPLEMENT F

Page 15: AGENDA Women’s Basketball Coaches Association Board of ... WBCA BOD Meeting Mater… · i. NCAA coach credentialing [Supplement H]. Cari Van Senus, Watford. j. Pilot coach education

Will the names of finalist candidates be publicized?

No. Candidate information will be treated as strictly confidential by James Moore & Co, who are operating under a non-disclosure agreement.

Additionally, athletics directors will be asked to provide finalist candidate names only if their search is part of the randomly selected sample percentage of hires for review after each hiring cycle.

What is the process for reconciling a potential disagreement between an unsuccessful candidate and the school about the interview process?

Schools will be responsible for providing details that demonstrate the hiring process for all finalists was equitable. James Moore & Co and the Board of Advocates will review any potential disagreements.

Where will the list of schools and athletics directors who are part of the CCDP be kept?

There will be a separate webpage within AthleticDirectorU that will host information pertaining to the pledge as well as a list of athletic directors who have committed.

How will athletics directors opt-in to the CCDP?

AthleticDirectorU and the Board of Advocates will be responsible for reaching out to ADs to solicit pledges. Additionally, an email address will exist for athletics directors to indicate their pledge.

What happens if candidates withdraw during the final stages of the interview process?

If candidates withdraw from the finalist stage of the interview process, a school will remain in compliance if they can demonstrate that CCDP requirements would otherwise have been met.

What happens if a school hires a search firm to assist with the process?

Search firms play an important role in the identification, recruitment and hiring of coaching talent in college athletics. Whether or not a search firm is used, schools who sign the CCDP are expected to follow its protocols. Search firms will be allowed to submit candidate data on behalf of a school to the clearinghouse.

Some research about organizational diversity says that changes in diversity hiring really start to occur when at least two candidates from underrepresented backgrounds are in the finalist pool. Why stop at just one in this case?

We recognize that some studies suggest that the probability of hiring a diverse candidate increases significantly when two or more diverse candidates are included in the finalist pool. We support increasing opportunities for candidates from underrepresented backgrounds. At the

SUPPLEMENT F

moment, we feel like the CCDP has the best chance for broad national adoption as it is currently outlined.

Can you outline an example of how the hiring and review process would proceed for schools who have signed the pledge?

A hiring process and reporting process that is compliant with the CCDP would proceed as follows:

1. The athletics director would execute a search process that included in the finalist stage at least one candidate from a diverse background and at least one candidate from a non-diverse background. The hiring process would conclude with the announcement of the successful candidate.

2. Some time later, following completion of the usual hiring cycle period, the third-party clearinghouse (James Moore & Co) will randomly select for review a meaningful sample percentage of recent hires by athletic directors who have signed the CCDP.

3. The clearinghouse will contact the athletics director and ask for details about their hiring process. The athletics director will provide details, along with providing the name and contact information of the newly hired head coach and at least one unsuccessful finalist candidate so the clearinghouse can verify that the hiring process met CCDP requirements for finalist pool diversity.

4. In order to maintain confidentiality of candidates, names and information about the hiring process can be submitted through a secure online portal or via telephone. James Moore & Co is operating under a strict non-disclosure agreement.

5. Schools who are not part of the randomly selected percentage of searches for review each cycle will not be required to submit finalist candidate names.

6. The clearinghouse will contact the unsuccessful finalist candidate(s) in order to verify that their involvement in the process matched the information provided by the athletics director and head coach that was hired.

7. If the clearinghouse identifies a potential discrepancy, they will notify the athletics director before gathering further information about the circumstances. They will present findings to the Board of Advocates, anonymizing the data to fullest extent possible, who will adjudicate whether the process met the requirements of CCDP.

8. AthleticDirectorU will ensure that the CCDP website remains an accurate reflection of the athletics director’s compliance with the pledge.

July 1, 2020 NCAA Men’s and Women’s Basketball Playing Rules Update Related to Use of Technology in the Bench Area for Coaching Purposes During Competition In advance of the 2020-21 basketball season, this correspondence is to make you aware that during the current two-year rules cycle, the NCAA Men’s and Women’s Basketball Rules Committees plan to consider and study potential rules changes involving the use of technology in the bench area for coaching purposes during competition. In its efforts to continue to obtain data and feedback, the men’s and women’s basketball rules committees are again requesting that any Division I, II or III conference interested in experimenting during the 2020-21 season with using technology in the bench area during competition should submit a request to either Art Hyland (men’s basketball secretary-rules editor) or Jon Levinson (women’s basketball secretary rules editor). Their contact information is at the bottom of this correspondence. Experimenting with rules related to technology on the bench will enhance the committees’ efforts to make thoughtful and informed decisions for the next rules change cycle in 2021. For a request to be considered by the men’s and women’s basketball rules committees for the 2020-21 season, the request must be submitted by a conference no later than September 4, 2020. Additionally, the request must meet the criteria listed below. Please note that the committees will only consider approving experimental rules requests involving the use of technology in the bench area for coaching purposes during competition for the 2020-21 season. Any experimental rules or formal rules changes related to technology on the bench for future seasons will be considered after the rules committees have reviewed results from the 2019-20 and 2020-21 seasons during the men’s and women’s rules committees annual meeting in May 2021. NCAA Men’s and Women’s Basketball Rules Committees NOTE: Below are the criteria that must be included from an NCAA conference to request permission to use technology in the bench area for coaching purposes during competition. These criteria are the same as those that were used during the 2019-20 season. For a request to be considered by the men’s and women’s basketball rules committees for the 2020-21 season, the request must be submitted by a conference no later than September 4, 2020. Additionally, the request must meet the following criteria/information:

• An outline of the conference’s plan to use hand-held devices such as a laptop computer or tablet (or comparable devices, but not cell phones) to receive live data/statistics in the bench area during competition.

• That the technology partner must guarantee that the device being used remains in single app mode during competition. (e.g. all other apps and communication would be deactivated while the game is in progress).

• Used only for regular-season conference games and/or conference tournament games (but not non-conference games even if the non-conference opponent is a member of a conference that has been granted permission to experiment with the rule).

• All conference members will be required to use the technology during the entire regular season and/or conference tournament.

• All conference members will be required to have the same hardware (e.g., type, number of devices). • If one team’s equipment fails to function, the opponent may not use the equipment during the outage. • The conference will be required to submit data as deemed appropriate by the men’s and women’s rules

committees following the 2020-21 season. • The experimental rules requests WOULD NOT permit:

o Institutions to record live competition or use live video from the bench.

NCAA Coaches Credential Model

The goal of this document is to outline a potential model for NCAA Coaches Credentialing. This document is the result of 18 months of discussion and study involving a two-phase coaches’ pilot, several meetings with NCAA Committees, the Women’s Basketball Coaches Association, the National Association of Basketball Coaches, athletics administrators and other stakeholders, and a series of meetings with a working group comprising women’s basketball coaches on model development.

Coaches Credentialing

What is it?

NCAA coaches credentialing is an outcomes-based education program focused on providing a set of core requirements and electives to establish foundational knowledge and educate coaches in meaningful ways to support them in their role developing student-athletes as people and in their sport.

Why is this important?

The NCAA is focused on human development. College coaches are uniquely positioned to influence student-athletes’ health and well-being and overall development. Credentialing provides coaches the opportunity to define what knowledge and skills are important for their profession and to provide leadership on required professional knowledge so they can best serve student-athletes.

Background

Meetings with Stakeholders. The Knight Commission held the first formal discussion on coaches’ education in winter 2018. Following that time there were calls with the Knight Commission and a second formal presentation at their fall 2019 meeting. In addition, the NCAA Board of Governors discussed at two meetings in 2018 and 2019, which resulted in directing NCAA staff to work on model development. Staff has worked with the coaches Associations and talked with the Division I WBOC, Division I MBOC, divisional councils and other groups to gather input on the topic.

Two-Part Coaches Pilot. Part One included a representative group of coaches from the WBCA and NABC to complete two educational modules and complete an evaluation of the experience. A report was generated and used as a basis to develop the second phase of the pilot. Part Two comprised a series of meetings with a working group of 12 WBCA coaches from all three divisions to provide input and feedback on continued model development. The partnership with the WBCA has been invaluable to develop a model of professional coaches credentialing in the sport of women’s basketball that may be used as a foundation for coaches credentialing in other sports. The WBCA previously piloted educational coaching modules and has significant research in this area about what education their coaches and stakeholders would like to see in the sport of women’s basketball.

Model

Goals

1. Provide comprehensive, outcomes-based education to maximize coaches as unique influencers in student-athletes’ lives and inform how they shape coaches’ development.

2. Establish education that is accessible and meaningful for NCAA coaches comprising a mix of core requirements and electives to establish foundational knowledge while reducing redundancy and duplicative courses. 3. Design coaches’ education in three key areas of student-athlete health and well-being, coaches’ development and personal growth, and NCAA rules compliance as foundational for NCAA coaches.

Structure.

The credentialing infrastructure is supported through the online NCAA Learning Portal in a Learning Management System (LMS). The portal offers content in the form of interactive learning modules. In addition, it provides a robust reporting structure to track educational experiences in and out of the portal to maximize flexibility and choice in content. This will help to accomplish the following:

- Create adaptive and systematic education at a national level through the NCAA Learning Portal. - Provide meaningful and accessible content to meet coaches where they are in their careers. - Maximize flexibility and minimize redundancy in education offerings including a mix of face-to-

face and online learning experiences. - Capture educational opportunities coaches take outside of the NCAA Learning Portal to include

courses taken at the campus level, conference level, professional organization, the NCAA or other registered education providers*.

- Document education at all stages and places of a coach’s career so they can maintain a complete record of their continuing education history.

Curricular Framework

The curricular framework comprises the outline of the primary content areas. Full content details and courses are still to be developed and will include a mix of required and elective courses:

1. Student-Athlete Well-Being • Physical health • Mental health • Emerging student-athlete issues

2. Coach Development • Coach-player dynamics • Professional expectations • Personal development • Program management

3. NCAA Policies, Processes, Rules and Compliance • New legislation • Rules compliance

Engagement and Oversight.

- Engagement. Coaches, administrators, WBCA, student-athletes, conference offices and NCAA staff; what does engagement look like for their involvement long-term?

- Oversight. Who needs to be involved, in what capacity, over content approval, (eventual) requirements** and frequency, or other aspects?

- Administration. As an Association-wide initiative, NCAA staff will oversee and evaluate the credentialing program at the direction of the aforementioned groups.

Next Steps to Implement Credentialing

- Build out curricular framework with sports-specific coaches, administrators and others. - Share model widely and strategically engage key stakeholders including divisional committees. - Launch full pilot for basketball coaches for academic year. - Launch full pilot for other sport coaches for academic year. - Begin defining registered education providers and the process for becoming one. - Explore division-specific expectations.

*Registered education providers are TBD.

**Division II already has an annual education requirement for all Division II NCAA coaches.

Proposal for NCAA WBB & WBCA Engagement: “Thriving through Being:” A Pilot Professional Development Program for NCAA Women’s Basketball Coaches

Title of Study “Thriving through Being:” A Process and Outcome Evaluation of a Professional Development Program for NCAA Women’s Basketball Coaches Background The 2014 NCAA GOALS study revealed that only 55% of Division I women’s basketball players believed their coach cared about their mental well-being. Additionally, women’s basketball players were among the most likely to report experiences of verbal abuse from coaches (National Collegiate Athletic Association, 2016). A previous report on the 2010 GOALS study by Yukhymenko-Lescroart et al. (2014) revealed that student-athlete reports of abuse from coaches were negatively related to reports of an inclusive team climate. This indicated that when athletes experienced verbal abuse from coaches, they perceived both coaches and teammates to be less accepting of and respectful toward people from different racial or ethnic groups. Student-athlete reports of abuse from coaches were positively related to students’ reported willingness to cheat to win a game. And, reports of abuse were negatively related to satisfaction with their college choice. In turn, reports of ethical behavior from coaches were positively related to an inclusive team climate and satisfaction with their college choice. Authors of this study recommended, “Teaching coaches both what to do (ethical leadership) and what not to do (abusive behaviors), may pay off…not only in terms of sportsmanship, but also in terms of student-athlete satisfaction and well-being…higher retention and graduation rates” (Yukhymenko-Lescroart et al., 2014, p. 46). Based on the results of a qualitative research study on retired elite figure skaters’ experiences of regard in coach-athlete relationships (McHenry et al., 2019, in revision), McHenry and colleagues recommended use of language from person-centered theory (a foundational theory in humanistic psychology; Rogers, 1959; Wilkins, 2000) “to better name and understand the varied experiences of emotional abuse” (McHenry et al., 2019, p. 19)4. Specifically, McHenry and colleagues (2019) used the following language to describe and understand emotionally abusive experiences: conditional regard (e.g., Feelings of acceptance, respect, and valuing from coaches IF athlete met certain conditions), negative regard (e.g., verbal abuse, shaming), and disregard (e.g., ignoring, denying attention). Participants in McHenry and colleagues’ study (2019, in revision) who did not experience abuse from coaches described experiences reflective of Unconditional Positive Regard (UPR; feelings of acceptance, respect, engagement, belief, and challenge from coaches through failure & success). McHenry and colleagues (2019, in revision) found that athletes who perceived UPR from coaches believed this lent to their development of positive self-regard, enhanced trust in the coach-athlete relationship, enhanced sport motivation, enhanced sport confidence, and enhanced performance—altogether, these athletes’ experiences were reflective of thriving (i.e., the joint experience of optimal well-being and sport success; see Brown et al., 2017) in the coach-athlete relationship. In contrast, athletes who experienced at least one opposite of UPR believed this lent to loss of trust in the coach-athlete relationship, loss of sport motivation, diminished sport performance, and negative self-regard or self-disregard—altogether experiencing declines in both well-being and performance. Implications from these

findings include a need for (a) professional development of coaches around UPR and its opposites, and (b) additional research on these constructs in the coaching context. In response to McHenry and colleagues’ findings (2019, in revision), two additional research studies have followed. First, McHenry and colleagues’ are completing a survey study with a sample of 330+ NCAA student-athletes from seven universities across the country. The purpose of this study is to validate a survey measurement that is intended to measure student-athletes’ perceptions of their head coach’s UPR, authenticity, and empathy. It is also to determine the ways in which student-athlete perceptions of coach authenticity, empathy, and UPR are related to student-athlete reports of self-regard, competitive anxiety, and sport resilience. This research study is fully funded by the Knight Commission on Intercollegiate Athletics. Second, McHenry and Zakrajsek (2020) created a professional development program (“UPR in Practice”) for coaches. They have recently piloted this program with a group of 23 NCAA Division I coaches and are conducting a process evaluation of the program (e.g., assessing the effectiveness of program implementation processes in the NCAA setting). The pilot program was delivered virtually and aimed to help coaches develop skills to communicate UPR while becoming aware of and minimizing use of conditional regard, negative regard, and disregard. Given Yukhymenko-Lescroart and colleague’s (2014) recommendation to teach coaches what to do (e.g., ethical behaviors) and what not to do (e.g., abusive behaviors) in response to the 2010 GOALS study findings, the “UPR in Practice” program may be an appropriate response to specifically target coaches’ professional development of interpersonal skills and understanding of how student-athletes’ might interpret their behaviors as being verbally or emotionally abusive. An outline of the program is provided below.

“Thriving through Being1:” An Interpersonal Professional Development Program for Coaches Program Description Grounded in Rogers’ (1959) person-centered theory, and based on the findings of McHenry et al. (2019, in revision), the pilot program “Thriving through Being” is intended to enhance coaches’ attitudes, beliefs, and skills around the implementation of UPR in their coaching. More specifically, the program emphasizes how coaches can utilize UPR, empathy, and authenticity as a way of being to facilitate thriving for themselves and their athletes in elite sport contexts with a particular focus on UPR. The program will include an initial workshop to introduce coaches to the current research on UPR and its opposite constructs in the context of coaching followed by six modules (adapted from McHenry & Zakrajsek, 2020), all to be completed virtually. The six modules are: (1) “Be You: Cultivate Positive Self-Regard (2) “Be Open:” Identify Value in Every Athlete (3) “Be Aware: Identify Triggers for Use of Negative Regard or Disregard” (4) “Be Bold: Create Alternative Responses to Triggers” (5) “Build it vs. Fix it: Daily Habits to Build Athletes’ Positive Self-Regard” (6) “Bend, Don’t Break: Plan for Maintaining Positive Regard through Adversity.”

Ideally, all members of participating coaching staffs will engage in the program (max 5 people per team staff: 4 coaches + 1 additional staff member). Coaches will be strategically placed into groups, and each group will engage in program activities and discussions together. This will include participation in the initial workshop followed by participation in one module per week during the women’s basketball pre-season. Content for each module will be delivered through a workbook (digital PDF or print) with an accompanying mobile App and/or website. Each module contains one podcast-style “episode” with accompanying reflection prompts and activities for coaches to engage in on their own, with their athletes, and in their groups of fellow coaches. During the 7-week program (including the initial workshop and six week-long modules), virtual meetings with the strategically placed groups of coaches may be scheduled periodically with the program facilitator to engage coaches in group discussion and problem-focused learning. The program facilitator will also be available to each coaching staff and/or group of coaches at request through the duration of the program. Finally, coaches will be invited to complete pre- and post-program measures, along with mid- and post-season measures following program participation. In addition to establishing baseline measures, pre-program assessments will be utilized to gauge possible coach resistance, adapt program materials to address resistance upfront, and integrate coaches’ own experiences into learning activities throughout the program. Post-program, mid-season, and post-season measures will be utilized to assess coaches’ self-reported changes as a result of program participation. Purpose/Objectives of Dissertation Study The purpose of this dissertation study will be to evaluate the “Thriving through Being” program implementation processes, program mechanisms, and associated outcomes that occur during and after coaches participate. The evaluation conducted will contain elements of both process and outcome evaluation. The elements of process evaluation will aim to evaluate the inputs and outputs of the program logic model, while the elements of outcome evaluation will aim to evaluate the outcomes and impact of the program logic model (outlined below). Pre- and post-program measures, along with mid- and post-season measures will be designed to inform this evaluation. Program Logic Model

Thriving Through Being

A Pilot Professional Development Program offered exclusively for NCAA Women’s Basketball Coaches

Program Overview

What is the purpose of this program? Thriving through Being is a professional development program intended to support coaches’ intrapersonal and interpersonal skills through the concepts of unconditional positive regard (UPR), authenticity, and empathy as a way

to be in their coaching to cultivate thriving—the joint experience of optimal well-being and sport success (Brown et al., 2017)—for themselves and their athletes in the NCAA Women’s Basketball context.

What will program participation look like? This program will be implemented during the NCAA Women’s Basketball pre-season, approximately August 24-November 6, 2020. The program is designed for head coaches and four additional staff members from each participating university. Coaches will be strategically placed into small groups of similar position/experience across universities to engage in virtual discussion, collaborative reflection, and problem-focused application of concepts. Coaches will be asked to commit to the minimum time requirements and are welcome to spend additional time on program activities if they choose. The minimum time commitments and associated activities include:
