Hard to get a good draw. Tournament should not be a blind draw. Football isn't, no reason basketball should be. Set it up in advance which regions draw each other and rotate yearly. Simply ensure that two teams from the same region are on opposite ends of bracket. Simple, fair, and equitable. On a side note, I'd still like to see sub state games played at a neutral site with multiple games, and classes playing at each site using college or municipal arenas as host sites. This format should draw huge crowds and media interest while providing a state like atmosphere while games are played at a neutral site. The other recommendation would be for the TSSAA to get rid of that awful NFHS Network. There are independent broadcast companies and individual schools in the state of Tennessee who would do a much better job than the out of state and lousy NFHS. This should be at all levels of post season play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t like NFHS because it is too big of a delay. They may all be delayed when live streaming I don’t know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with putting same regions in different sides of the bracket but think the winning the region tournament should give you that home substate game. This allows teams to play in some awesome environments. Win the region and it’s a huge home court advantage lose and you’re in a hostile environment.

Jaychapman Posted January 19, 2023 Report Share Posted January 19, 2023 One year recently all substate winners were one one side and all substate losers were on the other - that scenario should never happen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Games would draw huge crowds and be played in a championship style environment instead of an extreme home court environment. State wide media coverage could be arranged, increasing teams exposure and creating a bigger build of excitement for the state tournament.

It should had an advantage to the winner of the region. The team I root for had both last year Girls traveled for substate boys was home. What n the region get advantage. It's a reward for an accomplishment. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
