01/14/15 – First Basketball Statistical Leader Reports Released; NFHS Names Mueller, Bender National Coaches of the Year
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: January 14, 2015
First Weekly Basketball Statistical Leader Reports Now Available
The initial weekly statistical leader reports for boys’ and girls’ basketball have been posted to KHSAA.org. Statistics are compiled weekly throughout the regular season and will be posted to the KHSAA website every Wednesday.
As a reminder, member schools are solely responsible for submitting statistical information. If a school or individual is omitted, or information is not updated, that means the team in question did not update its statistics through the KHSAA’s online system prior to the deadline.
Beginning with 2014-2015, as contained in Bylaw 27, the requirements to enter and maintain rosters, schedules and statistics will be enforced more rigorously by the KHSAA. This enforcement will subject the member schools to penalties by the Commissioner, including fines and other actions, within the constraints of Bylaw 27.
The statistical leader reports can be found through the links below:

01/08/15 – Reminder on Bylaw Ineligibility from Last Date of Varsity Participation
With the beginning of the second semester, we wanted to remind you again about the change within Bylaw 6 dealing with the period of ineligibility (for those students subject to the provisions of Bylaw 6) that went into effect on August 1, 2014.
Previously, the rule stated that the period of ineligibility following a transfer was one year from the date of enrollment in the new school. Following the change, the Bylaw now states that a student-athlete who is subject to the transfer rule is ineligible for one year from the date of his/her last participation at the previous school.
It is possible due to this change, that there are student-athletes who were previously thought to be ineligible (due to the former one calendar year from enrollment provision) that would now be eligible sooner due to their date of last varsity participation. That reduced ineligibility period would reflect the change in the Bylaw and should be […]
01/06/15 – Reminder about Stats Collection REQUIREMENT and Penalties for Non Compliance
Beginning next week (week of 1/12), we will begin compiling weekly statewide statistical leader reports. With this first compilation, any school that has NOT reported statistics for one or more games will be penalized. The likely first step will be a FINE in accordance with Bylaw 27, and the adopted fine schedule calls for a maximum fine of $100 for failure to submit the reports (per game), as well as another fine if such a team should make the state tournament and is not in compliance with the requirement. Beginning next week, those penalties will be imposed.
Please keep in mind a few other notations:
