I don't see how they can ban it.  It's not directed at any specific recruit.  If they choose to sign up for it then they are making the effort.  Going to be a popular idea for a few years.

It's permissible, but only as a means of one-way communication. This means coaches can't reply to messages by anyone, including recruits. The purpose of Twitter, in my opinion, is to not only share thoughts and opinions but to engage in short conversations with your network.

Although if anyone is an expert on one-sided conversations, it's our former coach.

Twitter has a direct/private messaging feature, so I expect the NCAA to shut this down sooner rather than later.

I'm not sure which Tom Crean twitter site makes me laugh more:  the real Tom Crean site or the one created as a joke.  This one came from the real site:

I hear John Calipari is now on twitter. Remember 2 things. First i gave him the idea and second i was first! ITS INDIANA!

Recent tweet from Crean:

I just read that coach Calipari is up to 7100 followers on twitter. I will never hear the end of it from him

Big Blue rears its massively ugly head! (Crean's at 2374 followers)

Take that Loosiers! LOL!

Calipari responds:

I heard that my good friend Tom Crean is calling on Hoosier Nation to catch us on followers. He said we had 7100. He's wrong its over 8600.

/continue coaching flame war.

A recent MU mention:

"My son is in my office and put on a old Marquette vs Louisville game that we lost at the Buzzer. There goes my mood for the weekend."
