TSSAA Votes To Delay State Basketball Tournaments Rather Than cancel

What about the seniors. They have to let thrm play the spring sports. Especially the onrs thst dont have sxholarships. The fair thing to do eould be let thrm play the sport only after graduating and don't make them have to attend. Does not apply to basketball or any other sport...just baseball softball track etc. As far ad the basketball tournament they plan to do it in may or June to let the seniors end thrir careers right.

We need to understand that sports is not that important when we are talking about the destruction of our country. Many won't be able to afford to go after the loss of jobs. A gold ball isn't everything!

more to life than sports and this is a great reminder about what really matters. It sucks for everyone right now, it sucks for the players family who may lose their job. It sucks for the kid who does not play sports who may never step foot back into school as a SR. Athlete make up only a small percentage of graduating classes. We come here because we love our school sports and the kids, but the big picture right now is not making sure the Class of 2020 has their moment. I'd love to see our local kids back out there soon and bring more gold hardware home, but I'd like more to see our country move forward first.

I hate to beat a dead horse but the TSSAA needs the money and that is the only reason they are even considering hosting the state basketball tournaments and spring fling at a later date.  For once in their life the folks over on Lebanon Road in Hermitage, TN need to become leaders.  At the present time this country has much more to worry about than athletics and state championships.

Basketball season should be over. No way the teams ever get back to where they were when all this happened. I hate it for the programs that were still playing but honestly, it is too late to try and do a state tournament for basketball.  Maybe spring sports but hoops season is done.
