Site Directors, Director of Athletics, and IAABO#4 Basketball officials:

On behalf of the CHSAA and the member schools competing in district, region, and state tournaments, we would like to thank you in advance for offering your facility and/or finding a facility, or running one of the many CHSAA selected sites and assuming the role of tournament director. On behalf of the CHSAA and the member schools competing in district, region, and state tournaments, we would like to thank the IAABO #4 post-season applicants in advance for offering their time and efforts to officiate this post season. 1A, 2A, and 3A district site directors, remember to work in cooperation with your officials’ assignors to use the The Arbiter website to do your officials’ assignments. It takes 3 people to run a successful tournament: The School Administrator, the Athletic Director, and the Coach. These people are responsible for the maintenance of positive competitive athletics and good sporting behavior that all help lead to a well-organized and successful post-season tournament. Principals and Coaches need to lend their support by observing the following: the Principal, Director of Athletics, or another authorized school official should be in attendance whenever his/her school participates; make yourself available to the CHSAA administrator or the host school administrator in charge of the site, as needed. Principals are ultimately responsible for the conduct of their students and spectators. The coach shall remain under control and on the bench or in the coach’s box at all times. Coaches are primarily responsible for the conduct of their team and others who sit on their bench. Also, setting a good example for spectators eliminates some potential problems. Each CHSAA school is asked to publicize the post-season tournament in its local media, school newspaper, social media accounts, and over their school public address system and school website. Refer to CHSAANow.com for bracket information. If any additional questions arise, please call our office 303-344-5050. Good Luck in your post-season participation, Bert Borgmann Assistant Commissioner/Basketball

POST SEASON GATE LIST/PHOTO SUBMISSION

A gate list must be submitted to the CHSAA office for the 5A Great 8 Tournament (March 1-2), and the State Championships (March 8-10). Deadline for gate lists and photos to be included in the State Program is February 22, 2019. After this date you may no longer change your gate list/photo for the program. A team may submit a new gate list for entrance into the state tournament up to Wednesday March 6th at 10:00 am. After 10:00 am you must print a copy of the gate list and bring with you to the tournament. Without a gate list, your team will not be permitted entrance into the venue or will pay for all members of the team.

The gatelist is an interactive form that is sent directly to the CHSAA office, and will kick back a copy to the submitter to be used for districts/regionals if desired. You can find the link below or at chsaa.org under the basketball page: http://www2.chsaa.org/sports/basketball/gatelist.asp Submit team picture to: [email protected]

...... TEAM ADMITTANCE The CHSAA allows the following people in free at the players’ entrances:

19 total for 1A, 2A schools (Example: 12 players, 2 coaches, 1 manager, 1 scorekeeper, 2 statisticians, and 1 other) Only 13 personnel will be allowed to sit on the bench. No additional chairs may be added.

SITE DIRECTOR & GENERAL PLAYOFF INFORMATION

ADDITIONAL BULLETINS & MANUALS Please ensure you review both the Sports Medicine Bulletin and Sportsmanship Manual in addition to this bulletin. Links and location below:

Sports Medicine Bulletin (Click logo for link) or go to http://www2.chsaa.org/sports/medicine/SportsMedicineHandbook.pdf

Sportsmanship Manual: http://www2.chsaa.org/activities/sportsmanship/pdf/Sportsmanship_Manual.pdf

**NEW** POST SEASON INSURANCE CERTIFICATE REQUEST The CHSAA Board of Directors have requested that every district and regional site, that is not a school site, carry additional insurance coverage provided by the CHSAA office. Once a site is located for your district or regional we will need the location (specific address), dates, and main contact for the additional insured. This certificate of insurance will be processed through our office and will be emailed to you. Additional insurance can be requested for school sites as well.

EMERGENCY ACTION PLANS Every member school is required to create a venue-specific Emergency Action Plan (VEAP) for each site that the member school practices and hosts athletic contest. (Please use this template that has been created for consistency).

The VEAP must include location, emergency access, emergency contact information and a listing of each member in protocol's duties. An Annual VEAP training must take place no less than one time a year.

This plan must be completed for all on-site and off-site practice/competition venues.

PRE-GAME PLANNING Although it is necessary that one team be designated as the home team at common sites, keep in mind that the game belongs equally to both competing schools. It is recommended that a pre-game planning meeting be held by the tournament committee/host school to cover details connected with the staging of a post- season contest and all participating schools are informed of the game planning. The site director shall provide participating schools with a written document that contains the following information: game times, locker room arrangements, need for roster information for a program, gate lists for teams, ticket prices for fans, spectator seating arrangements, pep band and cheerleader arrangements, parking directions for teams and spectators, concession availability, sporting behavior expectations, and any other items to help the tournament run smoothly.

BASKETBALL BENCH CONDUCT AND SPORTSMANSHIP Each basketball season, the CHSAA office receives questions regarding acceptable bench conduct by the Head Basketball Coach and his/her assistants.

Officials should permit certain behavior by the head coach who engages in spontaneous reactions to officiating calls and non-calls provided the coach remains in the coaching box and the reaction is not prolonged, profane, vulgar, or threatening.

Coaches and bench personnel are expected to adhere to the specific rules set forth in NFHS Rule 10. 5

Repeated violations of those rules should result in a technical foul being assessed against the coach or other bench personnel. More egregious conduct violations while inside or outside the coaching box, should be properly and consistently penalized with a technical foul without warning.

Examples of egregious conduct violations which should be penalized include, but are not limited to, the following:

1. Comments directed at or referring to any game official that question the integrity of an official. (repeated references to the foul count against each team; suggesting an official is “cheating” or “home towning” a team, etc.)

2. A negative response to a call/no-call including, but not limited to approaching/charging an official in a hostile, aggressive or otherwise threatening manner; emphatically removing one’s coat in response to a call/no-call or throwing equipment or clothing on the floor; thrashing arms in disgust; running or jumping in disbelief; or, other actions deemed to incite undesirable crowd reactions.

3. Non-Verbal, without motion movement that is perceived to show up an official.

SPORTSMANSHIP RULE Sportsmanship Rule comes into play after three quarters of play and when there is a 35-point or greater difference in score. A running clock will be implemented and shall stop only for called timeouts, injuries and free throws. The sportsmanship rule stays in effect through the conclusion of playoffs.

Statement from Basketball Committee: By nature, Sportsmanship or Mercy Rules are developed as safety precautions in those sports where physical contact supremacy could lead to catastrophic injury (Football, etc.), or physical overuse by players (softball, baseball, etc.). More recently, sports have implemented “mercy rules” as a way to mitigate the humiliation of one team by another.

The committee is implementing what it calls a “Sportsmanship Rule” because the sports coaches have shown a lack of sportsmanship, empathy and creativity to keep outrageous scores from happening. The CHSAA Basketball Committee strongly encourages individual schools to establish an accountability process to address coaches who routinely push scores to unacceptable limits.

SPORTSMANSHIP EXPECTATIONS OF COACHES (All Levels) It is the expectation of the CHSAA that the Head Coach take responsibility for the behavior of his/her players, and fans with the school administrator. Basketball games evoke as much emotion for coaches, players and fans as any other sport, perhaps more than most. The CHSAA has established a goal of improving sportsmanship at its basketball games and the head coach is the key to this change.

How a coach responds to a call on the floor is how his/her team and fans will respond. That is a responsibility that cannot be taken lightly. High school athletics are educational in nature and need to be treated in that manner. Use the time you have with your players and fans to teach them the appropriate decorum for your games. Some ideas that have been proven to work in the past include:

• Develop the appropriate behaviors with your administrators so you are all reinforcing the same behavior; • At your parent and player preseason meetings, establish your sporting behavior expectations with both groups; • At the first school-wide school assembly, establish your sporting behavior expectations with your

6

students; • Re-emphasize at mid-season and post-season assemblies what those expectations are and recognize the positive changes in your fans; • Be the leader that steps up to change the culture of taunting and derogatory cheers; • Understand that while the name on the uniform may say your high school, it’s your team and you have the ability, and responsibility, to change a culture of negativity into one that is positive.

The CHSAA has adopted a basic philosophy: “Cheer for Your Team.” If you can get your fans to cheer for your team, the ugliness of taunting and derogatory cheers disappears. It takes work; it takes time. But the reward is a game free of the negative aspects that give high school sports a bad reputation.

COACHING BOX The head coach may be off the bench in front of his or her seat within the confines of the designated coaches’ box to give instructions to his or her players and/or substitutes. The box shall be outlined outside the court on the side where the scorers’ and timers’ table and team benches are located. The area shall be bounded by a line drawn 28 feet from the end line toward the division line. These lines shall be located off the court and be two inches wide (2018-2019 NFHS Basketball Rules Book, page 14, Rule 1, Section 13, Article 2). Game officials have been instructed by the CHSAA Office to prohibit coaches from standing, per NFHS rules, if the coach box is not marked appropriately as noted in 1-13-2.

The required coaching box dimensions:

A 2-inch line that is measured from the end line 28 feet and a 2-inch line that is measured from the end line will bound the coaching box. Courts without a correctly marked coaching box will result in a coach not being allowed to stand during the game, other than allowed by the NF rule book.

The CHSAA has approved and schools are required to use the following coaching box: NF Rulebook reference is Page 14, Rule 1, Section 13, Article 2

UNIFORMS--NF Rule Book, Rule 3, Sec. 4, Article 1 (pages 23-24) The home team must wear white uniforms and the visiting team dark for all post-season contests. Schools should bring their away and home uniforms to each post-season game.

PRESS ACCOMMODATIONS The host school is responsible for providing and supervising proper accommodations in the press area. Press seats should be reserved for members of the media whenever possible. The media has been advised to call ahead with requests. Schools are reminded of the importance of maintaining good public relations and are encouraged to cooperate fully with members of the media.

7

Press accommodations will be provided at final week sites in accordance of the respective site and the areas reserved for the media. In some cases, it may be floor level and in other situations it may be above floor level.

MEDICAL SERVICES Proper medical services should be provided, as warranted. The site director will insure that an ambulance and/or paramedic is available or on call. It is strongly recommended that a physician and/or trainer be present at all post-season contests.

SCHOOL BANNERS Plastic or cloth school-identifying banners are okay; paper banners are NOT allowed. Hand held placards cannot obstruct view of spectators behind those holding the signs. All banners should be positive or encouraging in content.

REPORT GAME SCORES Site directors please report playoff game scores promptly to Maxpreps and/or Ryan Casey ([email protected]) or Bert Borgmann ([email protected]).

ROSTER AND SQUAD SIZE Each school may suit as many as 12 players for the post-season tournaments, which includes district level and above. The roster may change from game to game but can never exceed the limit of 12 in uniform per team at districts, regionals or state playoffs. Teams violating this rule shall forfeit the contest.

Visiting Team: spirit line, cheerleaders, and pep bands may perform the next three (3) minutes of the half-time. c. Total half-time performance(s) will be no more than six (6) minutes. d. Any CD music to be used at half-time should be clearly marked, ready to play at the appropriate place on the CD, appropriately licensed and should be given to the site director or the site person responsible for half-time performances

PEP BAND GUIDELINES Only 35 pep band members, and the director, will be admitted at no charge to the state playoffs, providing each member of said groups complies with the following conditions. Additional members may attend at the student fee at the discretion of host administrator based on facility space consideration. 1. The site director is notified in advance and the group appears at the entrance designated by the site director. 2. Band members must have an instrument in possession and be accompanied by the director. 3. All performing groups (i.e., dance groups, pom pons, flag teams, drill teams, winter percussion, etc.) must make previous arrangements with the site director. The site director will arrange for admission either by passes, gate list, or other means. 4. When marching bands are required to attend football playoff events, will be admitted at the discretion of the site director and are not limited to the 35 member maximum for pep bands. 5. The CHSAA defines a pep band as a musical group from the school's music program and designed to perform before games, at time outs and halftime (sharing time with opposing school's pep band). The number of members allowed is 35, must have typical pep band instrumentation (50% wind instruments is minimum). 6. In the event that a percussion ensemble is deemed to be the schools spirit ensemble (pep band), membership should not exceed 20 members total. Ensembles larger than 20 will need to petition an extension to the site host. 7. The pep band must be under the direction of the school band director or his/her designated certified staff member. 8. Marching Bands/Pep Bands are asked to observe the following: i. Play only at pre-game, time-outs and intermissions during games. At no time can bands, percussion, any part of an instrument perform while the ball is in play. ii. To give consideration to other bands in attendance. Every school should have the opportunity to complete a cheer and to have its band play. (A meeting of the band directors prior to the start of the contest always helps to ensure good sportsmanship). iii. Do not allow band instruments, drums, etc., to be used as noise makers...No amplified instruments allowed at state tournaments.

PRE-GAME SITUATIONS CHSAA policy confines teams to their own free-throw semi-circle for pre-game huddles or rituals.

Coaches, note that your team is restricted to the free-throw circle nearest your bench during pre-game introductions and other times when both teams are on the floor and the center circle is off limits. This does

23 allow players to shake hands at the center circle during introductions and then move toward their respective free-throw circle nearest their bench.

Coaches should take an active role and establish guidelines for their team and permit only those pre-game rituals that promote sporting behavior and cannot be interpreted as taunting or baiting the opponent.

Officials will be prepared to assess a technical foul to a team or team member demonstrating these unsporting acts. The specific inappropriate actions of a few team members may be individually penalized or the entire team may be assessed one technical foul if they collectively engage in any inappropriate behavior(s). Since all team members are considered bench personnel before the game and during intermissions, the head coach would also be charged indirectly with the technical foul (NF rule reference: page 17, 2-8-1; page 63, 10-4-1d).

WARM-UPS—HALF-TIME & BEFORE GAME TIME Teams will warm up at the basket nearest their team bench at half-time of the preceding game if they choose and are allowed by game administration. Prior to the start of the game, teams will warm-up at the basket that is further from their benches. Teams playing the day’s first games will be permitted on the playing courts for warm-ups no earlier than 30 minutes prior to the start of the contest.

After the first game, up to twelve (12) minutes will be put on the clock for warm-up. Team introductions will follow the warm-up period with the visiting team non-starters being introduced first, followed by home team non-starters. Then, starters will be introduced on an alternating basis and they should shake hands at mid- court. (1A, 2A and 3A teams will have 10-minute warm-ups because of the number of games to be played). Class 4A, 5A live televised games will have a minimum of 12 minutes between games (adjustments may be made on site to stay close to time schedule).

INCLEMENT WEATHER POLICY--CHSAA Handbook The following policy statements represent the general operating procedures of the CHSAA regarding post- season competition that is threatened by inclement weather. Circumstances not covered by this policy are left to the discretion of the CHSAA office.

Tournaments - In the event inclement weather prevents a team(s) from arriving on time for a scheduled contest as part of a post-season tournament, the following steps will be enacted:

a. Notify the tournament director or designee with complete details a minimum of four hours before the scheduled starting time the day the tournament is to begin and/or other affected days of the tournament. b. If unable to arrive for the scheduled starting time, that segment of the bracket (game) will be moved to a later time slot that evening following the completion of scheduled contests. c. In the event “b” is not possible, the game(s) will be rescheduled the following morning--where the schedule permits--at a time to be set by the tournament director. d. In the event “c” is not possible and the contest(s) cannot be rescheduled due to facility and/or schedule conflicts, etc., the contest shall be declared a forfeit. When a consolation bracket is available, the team unable to make the contest will enter the consolation bracket. e. When the number of schools participating is 25% or more that are unable to be present, the tournament/conference director, in consultation with the CHSAA, shall postpone all or part of the day’s contests/activities.
