Copied my answer from the same topic in the girls thread:

A trusted media source told me that region tournament sites are determined by:

1. Site has to be within a so-and-so drive time of all schools within the region. (can't remember the exact time length)
2. Gym has to be able to hold expected number of fans.

That's why in Region 1-4A, the region tournament is held at either Daniel Boone, Dobyns-Bennett, Morristown East or Jefferson County.  This year it's at Morristown East.

Boone and D-B are just inside that driving range for District 2 schools, West Ridge and Science Hill are just outside of it.

Jeff County and East are inside that driving range for District 1 schools, Sevier County isn't and Morristown West gym is too small.

Time range is <90 minutes. And in fact, every school in Class AAAA is within it for its region (Cookeville is the longest at 80). Here is the list from the TSSAA website.

1’000 for A, AA, and II-A; 1’250 for AAA; 1’500 for AAAA. This applies to all levels except the region quarterfinals (home sites). (1’250 is also listed for II-AA, but that class doesn’t have region tournaments.)

no way some of the host sites in West TN meet those requirements.
