Eventually, the rulemakers will catch up with the technology. But NCAA 10-4-2 does not ban them outright. Take a look at AR 273, which specifically says that laptop computers are legal on the bench, as long as they are not being used for electronic communication. There was a memo sent to NCAA-W officials last year that expanded this ruling to include the iPad.

I told my assigner & interpreter the iPad was being used to track plays which would seem to fall into the 'coaching purposes" category.
