    Questions here about new classification of school

    Where are you getting the “new” BEDS numbers? All I have seen is the numbers that were used for last year.

    Will there be a 2020 season?

    I would hope so since that is the day most teams will start practice with a "camp week".

    Realignment Classifications

    Our team has won several games by over 50 points in the last 5 years and has never been asked to explain why. Who has had to do this?

    Realignment Classifications

    I am not arguing that RPI is messed up, because it is. My point is RPI will not change. The IHSAA has been hearing the same complaints about the formula for two years and then did absolutely nothing to fix it this time around. So the only way to make sure RPI isn't screwing teams is to let 32...

    6th one year and 23rd another year.

    A coach never has to write a letter to the IHSAA if a margin of victory is over a certain amount.

    Realignment Classifications

    Fixing the RPI is something the IHSAA would need to do and it would require a lot of tweaking to make it fair for everyone, and I really don't think you could ever make it fair across the board. The main reason being the state sets the schedule and not the schools, someone else is in charge of...

    Realignment Classifications

    This is why your argument doesn't work. I work with a team that is 7-3 vs in-class competition over the last 2 years. We have not made the playoffs in either year, and based on RPI were not really even close. We outscored in-class competition by 19.5 points/game over that span. Two of the...

    Realignment Classifications

    This might be the post ridiculous "playoff" post I have seen yet, and that is saying something. So why don't we just give the championship to whichever team has the best record at the end of the year? If more than one team has the same record they are co-champions. Maybe that isn't fair, but...

    Shot Clock...

    Agree. There are not very many High School teams who can throw the ball around the court for 1:00 plus without turning it over if the defense actually defends. If a team is going to just stand there and let it happen I don't have much sympathy for them.

    2020 Schedules

    That is the reality of our current playoff structure. The kicker is that almost half of the games a team plays could be against teams in classes other than the class they are trying to be a playoff qualifier for and those games will be used to determine if a team is "good enough" to make the...

    2020 Schedules

    Our team has the top two matched, but couldn't get anyone else to put us in their top 4. A lot of teams said they would put us 6 or 7. What I have heard a lot of teams say is that they were getting the same thing. The schedules will get made and we will all have to live with them, but the...

    2020 Schedules

    There was a Q and A session at the IFCA Clinic between coaches and IHSAA rep(s) last weekend. It was either mentioned during the meeting at a side meeting afterwards. Honestly I thought there would be more than 80.

    2020 Schedules

    4A is RPI only for playoff entry, but the rest of the classes will have a District winner and then the rest decided by RPI.

    2020 Schedules

    Agree with all of that. To make the playoffs you have to win ND games, unless you win your District. I will take my chances getting in at 7-2 or 8-1 with some less competitive ND games than go 6-3 or 5-4 while playing tough ND games. The system is flawed and this scheduling problem is a...

    2020 Schedules

    Because of the RPI, unless you are very confident in winning your district teams don't want to play up. It is an unnecessary risk. To be truthful you don't want anyone that could beat you if you don't have to. The school I am affiliated with was turned down by 20+ teams and we turned down...
