Without a pandemic playbook, USF Coaches stay connected to student-athletes in a multitude of creative ways

"There isn't a playbook for this."

Those six words have been uttered by many in college athletics (and elsewhere) since the outbreak of COVID-19 shut down competition, schools and communities.
By definition, a playbook consists of strategies and plays. With it, coaches/administrators have a plan to carry out policies whether on the field or with administration of a program. Without one, athletics leaders faced the prospect of building something new on the fly with little experience on what might work.
