TSSAA Tournament setup for 2024 AAAA basketball is a complete cash grab; they should be ashamed. Post-season seeding was based on how teams finished in their district tournaments, rendering the entire regular season meaninigless. A team like Centennial finishes 3rd (10-4) in regular season in a very competitive region 10 but is upset in the first round of a single-game district tournament and misses out on post season play? First round Independence is playing a 6-23 Lincoln County team?

Last year, the single district champ moved on to sub-state; a way more efficient model.

I’m not even real sure what you’re trying to say? Lincoln county did finish in the top 4 of their district even at 6-23. are you just mad because Brentwood got healthy and busted that bracket up

How is it a Cash Grab?  I mean if you think about the NCAA tournament, teams go 20-6 and then play a 13-17 team and lose, do you think they would be arguing they had a good regular season and should've played someone else?  Tournament time is the best time to shine and regular season means nothing during tournament play.  I'm just saying!!

I am not sure what alessic7's point is. The teams play all year to get seeded in the district tournament. Then how you finish in the district tournament is how you are seeded in the regional. Maybe he would like to try how most states run their state tournaments. In Illinois you are seeded by the coaches into regionals. If you have a good year you are seeded higher. One loss and you are out no second chance or third chance like in Tenn. In one regional this year in Illinois i saw three of the top 6 rated teams in the state in the same regional. I did see in Illinois that one conference had 4 teams playing for a regional title. I think there is merit for both ways to run a state tournament. In Tenn. if you have a bad game in the district  you are not eliminated.

Have no idea what you mean by a single district champ moved on to sub-state last year? Only the region winner and runner ups move on to sub state and it’s been that way for years.

IDK if those in this thread followed last year. My alma mater (Indy)  won the district tournament last season and immediately went to play Hillsboro for a regional champ to determine seeding for state tourney. 4 teams from each district did not advance.

And honestly, could care less about how it's been done in the past. Reward the totality of the regular season or reward teams for how they play in a 4 day tournament??

They did get rewarded.... They got the chance to play another game , they had another opportunity... Prime example here in RuCo girls games last night.  Cookeville was like 26-4 on 10-0  and number 4 in the state on the season and lost to 18-11  or 7-1 Oakland and will be setting at home as did Lebanon 24-9 lose to 18-8 Blackman. You play that well in the season you get a chance to play for a championship. You gotta bring your best every game, or you get to go home and watch on tv.... Not everyone is gonna get a capri-sun ana trophy. Don't mean that in a sarcastic tone, I am reminded there are a lot of great player who never get the chance, just like life. Being good is only part of the formula for success.. so is being prepared and being lucky.

Yes, four teams from each district did advance... they were seeded by their finish in district tourney play for regional matchups. Regular season determines matchups for district tournament, which in turn seeds the regional, and regionals decides which two play for a spot in the championship blind draw tournament. Not only that, but who plays the sub-state or sectional game at home and who has to travel. Every game has the potential to change a teams placement, matchup, and game site...don't really know how it could be done any better.

Independence did not immediately advance to play Hillsboro following the district last year. A quick glance at their schedule from last season on here shows they played  Brentwood and then Nolensville in the quarterfinals and semifinals of the regional tournament before playing Hillsboro.

On another side of the this.. Why doesn't TN go to the format like some states have in place where they actually play at a neutral site for region games instead of in high school gyms creating home court advantages for host schools. Like in Alabama they have 4 regional sites Wallace State CC, Jacksonville State, and two Arenas located in Birmingham and the other in Montgomery. All 7 classifications play one of the 4 sites based on the location of your region. It's just like the March Madness format... They play during the school day which is an incentive for those involved because the student bodies are all excused from school which makes the environment absolutely electric. 

The White Co, Cumberland County teams play their district tourney at Tennessee Tech btw.

TSSAA could easily allow for colleges around the state to bid on being a host or offering them money off the gate or concession if they host. UTC, Tech, UT Martin, ETSU, UTK, Nashville area colleges have plenty of options.... Smaller colleges - Bethel, LMU, etc 

Do away with substate as well just make the Glasshouse the Final Four

      Way too early 1A favorites 2024

      By Summit22 · Posted

      Coalfield definitely isn't the same team they've had the past few years. They are still the favorites to make it out of their region because of their pitching. They have 1 arm that sits low to mid 80s and 2 other arms that are mid to high 70s with good off speed stuff. If you can avoid their top 3 bats in their lineup then you have a shot to beat them. Their 4-9 hitters are average at best. Wartburg's ace was able to shut them down last week in the game Wartburg won 4-2.

      It is the longest season. Plus, 30 games a year. No Christmas break. I would say basketball is the most time consuming.

      $750,000 Lawsuit Files Against Warren County School District

      By BDURHAM · Posted

      Winfree's senior year was the season she needed to secure more college interest. That opportunity was taken away from her. A lot of false assumptions can be made about what happened and what the options are. Unfortunately, the former coach and administration did not allow Winfree to have due process. A lawsuit was filed for a reason, and it will run its course by people who conduct discovery and take depositions. Unless the parties settle out of court, a lot of the pertinent issues will come to the public surface. I wrote about many of the issues here: https://bdnewsletter.news/2023/11/17/grounds-for-investigation-and-suspension/ I interviewed Winfree after she was dismissed from the team and wrote about it here: https://bdnewsletter.news/2023/12/01/a-new-interview-with-sable-winfree/ Winfree had been on teams in Warren County since the fourth grade and never been dismissed from a team. The real questions are why was Winfree dismissed from the team, and why the administration backed a coach whom they did not rehire.

      What is the hold up here? I have not heard anything in weeks. Are they waiting for the right person or is something else going on?
