Beginning with the 2014-2015 school year, ALL 7-12 coaches (paid or volunteer) are required to view the NFHS course, “Concussion in Sports” before the beginning of their respective sport season. Information regarding accessing this course has been sent to your school administrator.

IHSAA Information

22ND GAME REQUESTSEvery year the IHSAA receives requests from member schools seeking permission for a school to play a 22nd game due to a scheduling conflict. A majority of the conflicts deal with conference realignment and schoolsdeal with conference realignment and schools short contests due to a school(s) leaving a particular conference. The IHSAA has a criteria that determines when a 22nd game is granted or not. A majority of the requests are approved for a 22nd contest.

22ND GAME REQUESTSThe issue that a 22nd game creates deals with seeding aspect for district/substate and state tournaments. The placement of the game during the regular season may affect games 5-15 and how a team is seeded for the post5-15 and how a team is seeded for the post season. In addition, a team with an overall record of 19-3 that qualifies for the state tournament, will receive a higher seed than a team with an overall record of 18-3, based on winning percentage.

22ND GAME REQUESTSWith all this being said, beginning with the 2014-2015 basketball season, the IHSAA will continue to grant 22nd game requests if the criteria is met, however, those 22nd games will not be used when seeding thenot be used when seeding the district/substate tournament, or the state tournament. The tournament series will be seeded according to the 21 original games that you had scheduled. We will have the capabilities to “void” that 22nd contest regarding seeding aspects.

2015-2016 SEEDINGBased on a recommendation from the Basketball Advisory Committee and approval from the IHSAA Board of Control, beginning with the 2015-2016 basketball season, games 1-15 will be used to determine seeding for the gdistrict/substate tournament. Again, a 22nd game request that is approved and placed in those first 15 games will not be used for seeding. It is the hope that a one year notice will allow for any potential rearranging of schedules for those first 4 contests that previously had not affected the seeding process.

GENERAL REMINDERSThe Spalding TF-1000 LEGACY will be used for all post season tournament games.

ONLINE EVALUATION OF OFFICIALSBased on a recommendation from the Officials Advisory Committee and approval from the Board of Control, varsity basketball coaches or administrators will be provided the opportunity to evaluate varsity officials in three different areas:

1. Professionalism2 Game Management

OFFICIALS EVALUATIONS

2. Game Management3. Rules Knowledge/Mechanics

Ideally, the concept is for officials to use the feedback appropriately to help them professionally for the rest of the season. These evaluations will be available to officials 30 days after the first contest playing date. These evaluations will not be used by the IHSAA and will have no bearing on post season assignments.

OFFICIALS ANNOUNCEMENTSAll information regarding the registration process and post season availability for IHSAA and IGHSAU officials was mailed to you in the fall and can be found in the 2014-15 IHSAA Officials’ Guide on the IHSAA15 IHSAA Officials Guide on the IHSAA website and on the IGHSAU Officials’ Central Hub on Arbiter.

In (3), the player uses her front foot or left foot as her pivot foot and pivots into the frontcourt. However, when she now touches the backcourt in (4), it is a violation.


It is recommended to review case plays 4-4-1 and 9-9-1, Situations A-E, in the Case Book. Th t it ti th tThese cases present situations that assist in explaining the status of the ball and player when considering backcourt violations.

Team Control Status During Throw in; Team Control Status Inbounds

Since a 2011-12 rule change, team control exists during a throw in when the thrower in has the ball at her/his disposal.The change was made ONLY to eliminate the penalty of administering free throw(s) when a teammate of the thrower in commits a common foul during the throw in
