Should the BB playoffs have everyone getting in or should only a certain amount of teams in each class make the cut?

The post below yours is what I was expecting to see. Yeah, obviously it'd be like football, which would mean districts instead of conferences.Originally posted by Spook 78:
If they can do it for football, they can do it for basketball. Shouldn't be any tougher, or any different.
If basketball only allowed half the teams into the playoffs (like football), Would that mean St Ed, with a losing record wouldn't make it in? possibly yes, possibly no......just like some teams in the football playoff.
Sidenote: I don't care for that seeding them for games 5 thru 15 business. Seed them from the beginning of the season. where would football be if games for making playoff purposes didnt count until the 5th game of the year?
Football is different in the regard to the impact on the body. Very few collisions occur in basketball. It's not hypocritical, it's thinking it through. It does no good to schedule an 0-9 vs. 9-0 first round football game. Basketball you aren't likely to get an upset either, but there is far less risk of a team being physically out matched and getting hurt. I'd be open to pairing non-playoff football teams though for an extra game against similar competition for an extra game.Originally posted by Spook 78:
i have no problem letting all the teams compete. in fact its my preference. but in all fairness, then ALL teams in football should be allowed as well. so any of the lovers out there of only allowing the top half of football teams to make the playoffs, yet want all the basketball teams to move on, I have a word to use. hypocrite.
now theres two possible solutions, and sure they may have to be tweaked. 1st, if you like the way district football is run, then run district basketball as well and only invite 1/2 the teams to make the playoffs. or 2nd, if you like all teams to play basketball playoffs, then allow it in football as well by eliminating 1 non district game on everybodys schedule, complete district play by the end of week 8 , seed them them and everyone plays a 9th game as the first game of the playoffs. no extra games added, takes the same amount of time on the calender, and everyone competes.....just like basketball.
Unless the only chance a team had to win was a non-district game that you took away so they could get pounded by a #1 seed.Originally posted by Spook 78:
not adding any greater number of games, still 9, hence no more contact. and that bottom team in a district will have already faced a district champ at one time for the year, so for them to face a quality team again is nothing new. in fact it should be motivation for 2 things to happen, be a david and knock off a goliath, or get some motivation and get a better record during distict play so you don't have to face that top seed.
How would you make it work with districts?Originally posted by Spook 78:
