\ COACHES WILL BE HEARD: The Black Coaches Association and the NCAA will speak tonight, their first full discussion since the BCA threatened to disrupt the college basketball season.
They will be joined on a two-hour conference call by three federal mediators who will have no authority to resolve any disputes. The issues the BCA has raised, including freshman eligibility standards and scholarship cuts, can be decided only by vote of NCAA schools at their annual meeting.
During the NCAA convention in January, the BCA threatened to lead a boycott of college games after Division I schools voted not to restore a 14th scholarship to men's basketball. The threat was withdrawn after the Black Political Caucus took an interest and the Justice Department offered to serve as mediator.
