October 6, 2015 Basketball Blog Updates

The mandatory online KHSAA Rules Clinic for the sport of Basketball is now online for all coaches (head and assistant) and licensed officials.

HEAD AND ASSISTANT COACHES

• The clinic is required for ALL coaches at each school, head or assistant, paid of unpaid.
• For member schools, the clinics are located on the School Log-in Page. To access the clinic, go to http://schools.khsaa.org and — under the section entitled Rules Clinics — click on the link that says “View Online Rules Clinics“. 
• October 5 to December 14  – the Basketball Clinic will be online only and may be viewed at no charge during this period.
• December 15 to January 18  – the Basketball Clinic will be online only and may be viewed for the makeup fee ($100) during this period. This late fee will be refunded to new (first year) coaches (first time ever in basketball, not the first year at a school). If this first-year exemption is needed, contact the KHSAA office.
• January 19 to February 21  – the Basketball Clinic will be online only and may be viewed for the makeup fee ($200) per the Bylaw 27 schedule during this period. This late fee will be refunded to new (first year) coaches (first time ever in basketball, not the first year at a school). If this first-year exemption is needed, contact the KHSAA office.
• On or after February 22, postseason penalties per Bylaw 27 will apply. For schools not entering the playoffs, additional administrative penalties will apply.

LICENSED OFFICIALS

• For officials, log in to http://officials.khsaa.org, click on the link entitled “View online Sports Rules Clinics for 2015-2016” under the Rules Clinic heading.  
• October 5 to December 14 – the Basketball Clinic will be online only and may be viewed at no charge during this period.
• December 15 to February 8 – the Basketball Clinic will be online only and may be viewed for the makeup fee ($30) during this period. This late fee will be refunded to new (first year) officials.

• After this time, postseason penalties will apply.

PROCEDURES FOR VIEWING

• The maximum allowable time from start to finish is now controlled by the system. If you do not have time to complete the clinic at one sitting, you should postpone until a time when you have the appropriate amount of time.
• Each person that views the clinic must be logged into their account in order to get credit. If taken using anyone else’s e-mail address other than your own (including your administrator’s), you will have to re-take the clinic.
• The user will need to advance each slide. Nothing is automatic. Unfortunately, past experience indicates that without this feature, many users might seek unacceptable shortcuts to completion.
• The presentation can be viewed on most PC or Mac desktops and laptops, along with many HTML5 enabled mobile devices and tablets (to view system requirements click on the Resources tab from within the clinic once the clinic has started).
• Once you advance to the last slide of the presentation, you will be returned back to the KHSAA website and will receive credit for the clinic (there are no “certificates” for completed online rules clinics). If the presentation is not completed, and you are not taken back to the KHSAA website at the end, you will not receive credit.

TROUBLE?

• If you have trouble logging into the system, contact the KHSAA offices.
