05/22/23- Guidance Related to 2023 SB145, with revisions to 2021 HB563 (KRS156.070)
Introduction
This summarizes interpretive guidance for the member schools of the KHSAA related to SB145, passed in the 2023 General Assembly Regular Session. Inquiries should be directed to Commissioner Julian Tackett (jtackett@khsas.org) or General Counsel Chad Collins (ccollins@khsaa.org). The provisions of Acts Chapter 93 2023 (SB145) go into effect on June 29, 2023 and will be further codified as KHSAA Bylaw 8. This information is archived at https://khsaa.org/05-22-23-guidance-related-to-2023-sb145-with-revisions-to-2021-hb563-krs156-070/, or https://khsaa.org/resources/2023%20SB145%20HB563%20Revision.pdf.

05/15/23 – NFHS Announces Basketball Playing Rule Changes
Free Throw Procedures and Foul Administration Amended in 2023-24 High School Basketball Rules Changes
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
INDIANAPOLIS – Beginning next year, high school basketball teams will shoot two free throws for common fouls when in the “bonus.” This change to Rule 4-8-1 eliminates the one-and-one scenario and sets new foul limits each quarter for awarding the bonus free throw.
Rules changes were approved by the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS) Basketball Rules Committee at its annual meeting April 24-26 in Indianapolis. The recommendations were subsequently approved by the NFHS Board of Directors.
In addition to awarding two foul shots for all common fouls, teams will reach the bonus when their opponent commits five fouls in each quarter and team fouls will reset at the end of each quarter. Previously, teams were awarded the one-and-one bonus when their opponents committed seven fouls in a half and two foul shots when […]

05/10/23 – Board of Control Accepts Reports of Member Survey Results, State Legislation, Officials Licensing
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: MAY 10, 2023
The KHSAA Board of Control conducted its final regularly scheduled meeting of the 2022-23 academic year on Wednesday in Lexington, accepting reports of several member surveys and ballots regarding both new and existing championship sports and sport-activities, as well as reports of Kentucky state legislation and officials licensing.
After officially approving the adoption of girls’ wrestling for the 2023-24 academic year during last February’s Board meeting, on Wednesday the Board approved the return of the KHSAA Wrestling State Championships to Alltech Arena at the Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington through 2024-25 to be held as a three-day event each year.
The Board approved the adoption of boys’ and girls’ tennis team state championships in the spring, along with the existing individually bracketed tennis tournament, beginning with the 2023-24 academic year.

05/10/23 – Baseball & Softball End of Season/Beginning of Postseason Updates
Staff managing Baseball and Softball have continued to receive inquiries regarding the ending of the regular season and the beginning of the postseason.
A variety of situations were shared with the KHSAA Board of Control at today’s meeting. After discussion and on behalf of the staff, the Commissioner proposed an interpretation allowing regular season games to be played up until the day before the district tournament begins in both sports. The Board unanimously concurred with that recommendation which will be the policy in all team sports going forward. This is in alignment with the end of the regular season in the individual sports that can play contests up until the day before the postseason begins.
For example:
1) The District Tournament is set to begin on Monday, teams could play on Sunday, the day before the postseason begins.
2) The District Tournament is set to begin on Saturday, teams could play on […]

05/09/23 – Reminders about Regional Track & Field Meets
CHECK-IN/CHECK-OUT PROCEDURE
We want to remind Athletic Directors and coaches about the strict time schedule at postseason track & field meets. Throughout the regular season, we realize that many athletes are competing in a rolling schedule style meet. However, both the regional and state track meets are structured to be held to a specific time schedule. With the state meet taking at-large qualifiers, it is important that all 21 regions adhere to a strict time schedule to ensure competitive fairness for the at-large qualifiers attempting to advance to the state meet. With the regional schedule, coaches should prepare athletes to communicate with meet personnel and check-in/check-out of each event. Athletes should arrive to the clerk for running events no later than second call. The games committee has determined that athletes who check-out to compete in a running event have 12 minutes from the completion of that event to return to check-in.
Managers are required to […]
05/08/23 – Baseball End of Season/Postseason Start
We have received some inquiries from baseball schools that have had issues with regard to the availability of the host facility scheduling district tournaments and contracted games for the end of the regular season.
Within Bylaw 23 it states that the opportunity to participate in regular season contests ends at all levels of play on the second day preceding the first KHSAA Tournament (District, Region, or State), with the exception that the varsity team may practice and play through its elimination from KHSAA sanctioned tournament play.
While there were accommodations during COVID to allow play until the day prior to the first date of the tournament, those accommodations were only for the 2020-2021 school year. Traditionally the regular season ended on Saturday and the postseason began on Monday.
Given that schools are having scheduling conflicts with host sites and those conflicts are dictating the District Tournament to start earlier than the Monday of District week, […]

[…]05/02/23 – NFHS Announces Wrestling Rule Changes
Changes in High School Wrestling Rules Include Allowance of Six Matches in One Day of Competition
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
INDIANAPOLIS – High school wrestlers will be able to wrestle in six matches in any one day of competition beginning with the 2023-24 season. The six-match limit includes championship and consolation matches and excludes forfeits.
This change to Rule 1-4-3 was one of 12 revisions recommended by the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS) Wrestling Rules Committee at its April 2-4 meeting in Indianapolis. All changes were subsequently approved by the NFHS Board of Directors.
The increase from five to six matches for regular-season competition follows the change two years ago which permitted six matches in any one day of tournament competition. With experiments conducted last year by state associations with no reported injuries, the committee thought the increase to six for regular-season competition was a natural progression.
With risk minimization in […]
