I think it is "illegal" for registered AAU teams, however, I do know of a "non registered" team who is coached at times by their high school coach, mainly from the bleachers and practice but what they say overrules what their coach tells them.
AAU has zero to do with it. If you are a coach and are coaching your player in AAU, Rec ball, Church league or whatever you are eating up the allowed practice time as I layed out in my last post. Of course you may not get caught or turned in if you do get caught. I've seen the pathetic few circumventing the rules as you described - coaching from the stands but this is the exception not the rule. It is these idiots that get the TSSAA cranked up to make more insane rulings that the coaches who are trying to do the right thing have to live by.
-
Are there any rules that relate to coaches coaching their own players in middle or high school on an AAU team?
You could coach but this would count against the 15 days of practice allowed by the TSSAA.
The following is from the TSSAA Handbook page 25 which outlines what a school may do. You may say this is only appling to the school's team but the player-coach interaction falls under the TSSAA definition of "practice" (Practice ??“ Coach and player(s) together with instruction, teaching, coaching, etc.)
End of school until summer Dead Period.......................................15 days of practice, 10 of which may involve practice with another school(s).
Week preceding July 4 and week of July 4....................................SUMMER DEAD PERIOD
End of Summer Dead Period until Monday, week of August 1.......Weight training/conditioning permitted.
No open facilities. No practice.

Good Luck HF! Go 9AA!
-
Is there anybody other than March you have to stop offensively?
4 of Marshall County's players average in double figures or right at it. This includes Bryant who is a great 3 point shooter.
-
Way to go Lady Lions! You really hung in there tough! Stay strong.
Congrats to Maddie for MVP award. Well deserved.
Anybody got the list of who made 9AA All District?
-
Level of competition has to be a weakness. They've struggled lately with teams they should handle by 20.
I have trouble vizualizing MC having trouble with any of the 9AA teams. March has a dramatic advantage in the post. That being said, if MC lets either CPA or Hume Fogg hang around with them till the fourth quarter they could easily get beat. Both CPA and Hume Fogg have played plenty of close games and have won most of them.

Your just bitter cuz they sent home your beloved FRA Panthers /roflolk.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":roflolk:" border="0" alt="roflolk.gif" />
Funny way to "elevate" FRA??
Wish it were different but having seen both teams MIDTN has it about right! /popcorneater.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":popcorneater:" border="0" alt="popcorneater.gif" />

Will Marshall County over look this 4th place Ezell team?
Marshall County by as many as they want. The matchups in this one are absolutely brutal for Ezell.
-
Congrats to Ezell on a great win. Callie Bobo stepped up and scored 11 pts. This was a player that was hurt when they played at FRA. I think this is a team that could be very dangerous playing the district tournament at home.
Did anyone see what happened in the FRA game? I am very suprised that EZ could beat them at home. I looked for them to go a good way into the tournament.
-
Who will be in your district? If Davidson Academy is- they usually have a pretty good team year after year.
DII A East -Middle per the TSSAA website
Davidson, DCA, Ezell, FRA, Kings Academy, Knox Webb, Lancaster Christian, Mt. Juliet Christian, Riverside Christian, St Andrews, St. Cecelia, USN, Zion Christian and Webb
Some of these schools are very good; Knox Webb this year has defeated the likes of BA, Ensworth, Olivar Springs etc. running up a 19-2 record. DCA, Davidson, FRA usually have good teams.
Some of this group are very weak. Enrollment goes from 78 to 478.
I don't think anyone really knows who will be playing who /popcorneater.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":popcorneater:" border="0" alt="popcorneater.gif" /> .

compelling argument.......you just made one subconsciencely...preparing the kids for college play.
Now there are others. Alot of the posts say that teams couldnt adapt. Have a little faith, Rob made a very good point that the 10s in AAU adapt after just a couple of games. Another is that stats are more prone to flurrish and we know parent love that. Also playing time should be more distibuted since few can keep up the pace for 18 min stretches. Also it enhances the transition game. Without a shotclock, alot of games that are lets say a 10, 8 or even 6 point sread at the 3:00 min mark are over if a team starts their stall, whereas with the shotclock forcing the offense to continue playing the game is still obtainable. There are a books worth of more reasons but the most compelling is that if you were to ask the kids who have played in both situations what would their choice would be?
The argument that the shot clock should be in place to prepare kids for college is ridiculous. How many kids play high school basketball vs those that continue to play in college?.....relatively few is the answer. High school ball is for all the kids who love basketball and the shot clock will put strategy out the window in place of pure athleticism. In high school smart teams can play with the stars...they don't have to stall but if they can get you to play at their pace they may beat you on certain nights. When they beat you I promise you they are having a good time. /popcorneater.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":popcorneater:" border="0" alt="popcorneater.gif" />

With the first half of the season in the bag it appears CPA has the edge going into the last half of the season with HF right on their heels. The four best teams are CPA, HF, FRA, and DL. I??™m not sure what??™s going on at EL ??“they may come on at the end but right now they are having trouble. EH seems to one dimensional to be there at the end.
CPA has 1 loss, FRA has 2, HF has 2, and DL 3
What CPA has is 3 big wins over the other teams in this group-2 over DL and 1 over FRA. HF has 3 also FRA,CPA, DL.
FRA has NONE??¦..DL has NONE. This makes for an uphill climb for these schools with 7 games to go.
In the last 7 games CPA only faces 2 of the top teams, HF and FRA while HF faces 3, FRA DL and CPA
Meanwhile FRA faces 4 and DL 3. FRA letting the HF game get away may really bite them in the end.
A record with 2 losses might take it outright.
To add to the interest PC , EH, and EL may knock off some at the top at any time.
Lots of fun-luck to all over the last 7 games. /popcorneater.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":popcorneater:" border="0" alt="popcorneater.gif" />

What does East Lit have to do to get back on track vs CPA tomorrow?
I was suprised to see that EL had lost a week ago to DCA.....doesn't seem possible.
-
FRA is going to Memphis for a tournament next week. Are there any other teams in 9AA going to tournaments during break???
EL and EZ sre playing in local tournaments I believe. CPA goes to Illinois to play.
-
EH had a good team last year, but I think FC can get them this year.
FC by 6
-
1. Upperman - no one close
2. Marshall Co. - Still getting it done. MC vs Upperman would make a great final.
3. Station Camp - sound team, but too small
4. Cannon Co. - Someone explain the Cookville game to me.
5. York - Might be a sleeper.
I have been following girls ball in middle TN for a long time. I'm a lot more fan than expert, but I don't ever remember districts 8,9,10, and 11 being this bad all at once. Other than Marshall Co., there is not a team in the bunch that could finish in the top 4 of district 7. What is going on?
After getting to see Upperman I agree they are in a class alone. I don't know if Marshall County could beat them or not. My money would be on Upperman. Upperman's top three scorers are it's two senior guards and its 6'-2" junior center. Experience and size at all the right places. Don't know about the other districts but 9AA has plenty of talent but for some reason the cycle is such that almost every team that has good young players lacks experience. Good for the future but not so good for now. For some reason there just aren't teams with experienced good older players. Ross and company graduated from Lipscomb and McAlister and her group graduated from Ezell-Canady and Jackson from FRA were gone this year too. I look for the 9AA teams to be much improved by years end. The move to DII by FRA and Ezell will change the landscape next year- not to mention most of 9AA going to 10 AA except for Hume Fogg.
I wouldn't get too excited about the other teams in 7AA except Upperman.
-
For Hume Fogg, it's Maria Bagwell. For East, it's Sharonda Brabson.
EL has K Cowen currently leading 9AA in scoring per the Tennesseean.
-
Where is it in the rule book?
Look at 9.1.3 situation J on page 67 Directly addresses this.....

Don't know if it applies to TSSAA but per the IACIO (Inter Association Council of Athletic Officials) one of the free throw violations is:
The free thrower shall not have either foot beyond the verticle plane of the edge of the free throw line which is farther from the basket or the three throw semi-circle.
So, if the free thrower gets the ball and steps on the semi-circle it would be a violation.
-
Hume Fogg really did it to CPA by the score.
FRA played comeback basketball to win at East Lit. It was a good game, overtime. It appeared that FRAs zone press helped in the latter part of the game. East Lit is a very good team and will do very well in the district. FRA is young but could be a sleeper in the District.
Congrats to FRA on a big win on the road against a good team. EL will be there as the season progresses. This loss maybe their wakeup call.
I am very suprised at the margin of CPA and HF. Did anyone see the game?
-
9AA gets going with with a couple of key games. CPA hosts Hume Fogg and East Literature hosts FRA Key games for all four schools. David Lipscomb takes on Ezell harding and finally Pearl Cohn travels to MLK. I think CPA will upset HF. EL over FRA although it would not surprise me if FRA won , DL over EZ and PC to beat MLK.
Your thoughts?
-
Does anyone know about MLK, PC or FRA?
Evidently the 9AA thread has gone "dark"....but the light will begin to shine next week as CPA and HF square off and FRA takes a shot at East Lit. Surely someone will have a comment before or after these games!
-
All their natural rivals were moved to 10AA
-
No problem. I should be getting a schedule this week. Should be an exciting season in 9AA! You guys will have to be heavy favorites. But, I'm hoping my Lady Mustangs can give you a run for your money. Thx. /thumb[1].gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":thumb:" border="0" alt="thumb[1].gif" />
How have 9AA favorites EL, HF and DL done in preseason scrimmages?
Can high school coaches coach thier own players in AAU ?
