New basketball calendar & rules for the 2020-21 season


Recommended Posts

New basketball rules from the UIL as they slipped the info in as they announced the fall sport calendar.

  • No tournaments of any kind, including showcases
  • Teams can have two scrimmages, with no more than four teams can meet at one place for a scrimmage. Sites that are used to have more than four are not allowed.
  • There is no more regional tournament, the regional semifinals and regional final will go on as a normal playoff round

So AAU tournaments going on right now this summer in Texas that have 5-20 times the total number of teams of any tournaments that would happen during the high school basketball season is a reality, but 3 to 5 months from now it won't be possible to have something like the Orangefield Tournament? My head hurts, I need someone with that expanded knowledge base like "One Chance" to break it down for me.

AAU does not follow UIL guidelines, of course. Some are self-governed by their organizers and coaches. 

For UIL, there won't be any tournaments for anyone in the state. TAPPS is the only organization at the moment that can host and have teams participate. 

Scrimmages can also have no more than four teams at the same venue

(example: Team A, B, C & D have scrimmages at Lamar University. Team E wants in but can't participate because of this restriction.)

I hop that answered your question.

Naw Nick, I understand all the machinations involved with why things aren't going to happen, my comment was more of a rhetorical (salty) based opinion regarding the overall conditions of current times.

Have appreciated your coverage, hope you actually get to go to a gym this season. 

That's it for me, got to get back to hermetically sealed bunker.

    • Hold them accountable? Like here in Texas where we have, by any definition, the most conservative Speaker that we’ve ever had. He pushed through an abortion ban and border security measures, reduced school taxes, etc… and the people who put him in office are firing him for not being MAGA enough.    Every third commercial on TV is Trump (or somebody who supports Trump) calling Phelan a RINO and supporting an impotent replacement for the most powerful person in the House.    It’s 100% MAGA, and it’s 12000% stupid.    “oh, he didn’t do those things by himself” says everyone who doesn’t understand parliamentary procedure. 
    • @bullets13 not sure why it double posted the topic.. delete this one plz sir
    • Me personally I respect posters like @bullets13 @CardinalBacker they vote for a guy and can call out others in the party or the direction a party can be headed.... others on here fall "lockstep" with whatever happens and defend by all means is the mantra it seems... no need to call out names, it's probably you if your mad at this statement 🤣 
    • I recall prior to midterms the R's and the "red wave" would get America "back on track" etc.... they would end this and stop Biden from that blah blah blah, so what's the problem? It looks like a circus show from both sides and whoever can sit or stand with a straight face and defend it is a 🤡! Desantis would've been a slam dunk for the R's and he possibly would've got my vote... now they pick a guy who lost the popular vote twice lol (yeah I know that means nothing in grand scheme of things).. point being is the dude is highly unlikeable (I also know this doesn't matter) 👈🏾 just getting ahead of the deflectors... personally I hope the clown gets in there so ppl can see how ultra right the clown is trying to push America for... IF he wins in November you can bet he will be on a rampage for 4 years getting lil if anything done, will most likely spend his term for the same thing some of yall complain about daily, going after his opponents... but hey the D's do it right? So yeah it's cool if we do it SMH We're supposed to vote on policies etc while at the same time the person you vote for that made promises to change or fix this and that complains about his predecessor being the issue! It's all a joke What have R's done that's good for America since midterms?  What have D's done? And please leave your feelings out of this and be truthful if possible!
