ecu Posted March 14, 2015 Report Share Posted March 14, 2015 Only top 3 teams from each district goes to region. State rotates from west, middle, east tn sites. Public schools compete in division 1: Private, magnet, & open enrollment competes in division 2. Only top 3 teams from each district goes to region. State rotates from west, middle, east tn sites. Public schools compete in division 1: Private, magnet, & open enrollment competes in division 2. I like all these ideas except rotation but that is only because I like being able to go every year. Think you need to suggest these ideas to TSSAA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dare Posted March 14, 2015 Report Share Posted March 14, 2015 I say split private/public schools. Have 4 classifications in all sports (instead of 5 for FB and 3 for all other sports) for public, 2 classifications in private. Then for basketball, I say to get rid of district tournaments all together. Have one big region tournament with all schools from the two districts, with top two advancing to the sectional and sectional winners go to state tournament. For example: say 1 district has 6 teams and 1 has 7 teams. The district with 7 would have a play-in game between #6. The one and two seeds would have byes. #3 from one dist plays #6 from the other dist, the #4's play the #5's. The winners then move on to play the 1's and 2's. Play everything up to semifinals at the higher seed like you do first round of the region now. Not sure if that example makes sense or not? But 1 big region tourney is my suggestion. And I like the idea of rotating the state, even though I like to go every year too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much would it hurt revenues for TSSAA is the question? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tab Posted March 14, 2015 Report Share Posted March 14, 2015 I agree with 3 from the district or the one big region tourney. One of these is a no brainer and should be done for 2016 tournaments. As the the State Tourney I say rotate between the Nashville area and Chattanooga and Knoxville. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ecu Posted March 14, 2015 Report Share Posted March 14, 2015 Shot clock do it now you have .45 Bernard Why do we need a shot clock? Most teams can't hold it long enough to make any difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dare Posted March 14, 2015 Report Share Posted March 14, 2015 I'm afraid the West Tennessee schools won't like that... And I couldn't blame them. If it rotates, it should be somewhere west of Murfreesboro (Jackson area maybe) and somewhere east of Murfreesboro (Knoxville area maybe) and then Murfreesboro or Nashville.

toinemac Posted March 14, 2015 Report Share Posted March 14, 2015 True, does anybody really hold the ball??You must not have watched the games yesterday. I saw several possessions lasting over 1 minute and a couple that lasted almost 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoganknows Posted March 14, 2015 Report Share Posted March 14, 2015 Top 2 out of each district advance like Baseball and Softball Split the Public and Private Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShawnJohnston Posted March 14, 2015 Report Share Posted March 14, 2015 In no way disagreeing, I am only curious as to why rotating the championship site is a factor? Very few states rotate a site and they typically make it as centrally located as possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
