Wise, updated with arrangements
COMMISSIONER’S STATEMENT ON THE PASSING OF BILLY V. WISE
Billy V. Wise, who served as the fourth Commissioner of the Kentucky High School Athletic Association from 1991-1994 and spent twenty-five years with the KHSAA, passed away early Thursday afternoon.
“Billy Wise was one of the finest gentlemen to ever cross the paths of the member school representatives and administrators, coaches, game officials, Board of Control members and our staff. His value at a pioneering time of sports expansion at the KHSAA was of tremendous benefit to all the students in the Commonwealth,” said KHSAA Commissioner Julian Tackett. “His leadership during his 25 years of service to the KHSAA was instrumental in guiding the officials through the adoption of the 1971 Federal Court order and was vital in steadying the association during the financial trials surrounding his time as Commissioner as the Association moved into a new headquarters. ‘Coach’ as he was known throughout the state, […]

From the KHSAA competition rules for all games at all levels,
F) Coaching Box
Per the NFHS Playing rules, KHSAA member schools may utilize a coaching box per the NFHS rules drawn 14 feet from the 28’ mark on the court. If such box is not marked on the court, there is no allowance for a coaching box and the coaches must remain seated. There is no coaching box beyond the 14’ mark toward the baseline.

10/2/12 – Reminder on Out-of-State Travel for Cheer Squads
As we have previously published and shared in the rules clinics, travel out of state is to be approved/sanctioned by the KHSAA office. Schools may simply e-mail (bcope@khsaa.org) the information which should include the date, site, host and name of competition. Schools travelling out of state are required to participate in the KHSAA region/state competitions and adhere to NFHS Rules in those out of state travel competitions.
10/2/12 – Clarification on Cheer Squads and Exhibitions/Showcases
We had received an inquiry concerning Cheer squads participating in showcases and does this count toward the season limitation of 3 competitions. Here is the interpretation on involvement:
Squads may participate in Showcases/Exhibitions if the involvement is merely to have the routine judged. If any type of awards (dance medals, jump awards, etc.) are presented this is considered a competition and would count toward your three limit.
Please contact the KHSAA office with any questions.
