Coaches in attendance in July

Here is a look at the coaches we saw in the stands at the events we covered during the first July evaluation period (July 11-15) and who they were monitoring:

Note: Just because a coach or school wasn't on this list, does not mean they were not out during the evaluation period or even at one of the events we covered. Also, coaches could have been at a particular event to evaluate more than the players mentioned. These are the players we know they were evaluating. Again, these are only the coaches we saw (there could have been some we missed) at the events we covered -- adidas Invitational, Reebok Breakout Challenge, Atlanta Hardwood Jam Fest, Big Shots, Pangos Sweet 16, Hoop Group Elite Camp.
