04/19/13 – April 2013 Board Meeting Review
Starting with this most recent meeting and going forward, I want to issue a review of items discussed at each of the Board of Control meetings and status of issues. With the Board meeting six times per year, it is critical that the membership be updated on a consistent manner as far as actions by the Board. I realize and applaud the fact that many of them personally update you with regard to undertakings, but I want to be sure all schools are informed. Agenda material and documents can be found online at http://portal.ksba.org/public/Agency.aspx?PublicAgencyID=4374&AgencyTypeID=1

4/12/13 – Remarks for KHSAA Hall of Fame
As I come here to night to bring you these brief greetings, I cannot help but believe that the founders, sponsors, staffs and visionaries of this great Hall of Fame are smiling. Those that are still with us, and those that have gone before us, would look upon this class as the very core of what we should be doing in recognizing our high school athletic heritage. If you don’t believe it, take a random ordered look around at the fantastic range of talent in tonight’s class:
We have:
- The outstanding All round athlete from Western Kentucky who was all-state in three sports and who has been far too long getting his due from this Hall;
- A young track phenom who was second fastest among his own siblings when he started running and later became America’s fastest human
- A man who dedicated his entire career to students as a middle school coach, […]
04/02/13 – Reminders about Title IX and Participation List Submission Due April 30
As basketball season is now complete and spring may finally arrive in the coming days, it is time to remind each of you that the annual reports for Title IX and the Participation List are due on April 30. If you have specific questions about Title IX and the law itself, any of our Assistant Commissioners should be able to help get you some assistance. Asst. Commissioner Darren Bilberry is our primary contact for your questions related to the law and its interpretations. Information Technology Director Rob Catron as well as almost any of our support staff can help you with electronic issues including login and report preparation using the online system. The online system will have entry available beginning on Monday, April 8.
Again this year, based on feedback from the membership and members of our Athletic Directors Advisory Committee, there have been several system changes to make this task easier. Here are […]

03/25/13 – Clarification on Cold Weather Participation
The office has received several calls from people asking about a “Cold Weather Index” to parallel the existing Heat Index rules and regulations. At the present time, such an index does not exist in terms of a policy to eliminate participation at certain temperature combinations. However, the NFHS Sports Medicine Committee, as part of its 4th edition Sports Medicine Handbook provided to the member schools, has set up best practices documentation and suggestions to dealing with extreme cold. The recommendations are posted on the KHSAA web site at /sportsmedicine/nfhs/coldweatherrecommendations.pdf Please feel free to use this valuable resource document. If you need additional copies of the Sports Medicine Handbook, contact Marilyn Mitchell (mmitchell@khsaa.org) at the KHSAA offices.03/25/2013 – NAERA Statement on Helmets with After-Market Enhancements
STATEMENT FROM NAERA – 3/25/2013 –
The NFHS has been provided with a copy of a newly enacted policy by NEARA pertaining to after-market football helmet attachments. Under the policy, reconditioners would remove such attachments and either return them to the submitting high schools or destroy them, at the schools’ direction. The complete release is located at /football/naerapressreleasemarchregardingaftermarkethelmetattachments.pdf. Please note that if these devices are attached to a helmet submitted for recertification, the devices will be removed. If they (or replacement devices) are re-attached, the warranty / guarantee for the helmet recertification would be voided.
Coaches should also note that due to these after-market enhancements voiding any warranty and recertification, they cannot be worn in competition.
Contact your helmet manufacturer with questions.

The school with the most votes will receive a $200 prize for their athletic program following the tournament!

03/01/13 – Sweet 16® Traffic Advisory-Inbound from West- US60 (Versailles Road)
Information will be posted here concerning traffic impact from construction on Versailles Road with Boys Sweet 16®
Beginning February of 2013, work will begin on a total overhaul of US60 (Versailles Road) from the Bluegrass Parkway through State Road 4 (New Circle Road).
At present time, it does not appear that the project will impact travel or movement into the Boys Sweet Sixteen as the project is set to have two lanes open at all times. Delays are expected at the intersection of Versailles Road and Man O’War (next to Bluegrass field) as that are normally has several more lanes.
Patrons coming from the west who desire to avoid the congestion and construction have a couple of desirable alternatives.

Running Clock Provisions – KHSAA Football (all high school levels of play)
RUNNING CLOCK PROVISIONS
This point differential applies to all football contests. The National Federation’s Football Rules Committee has a provision in the playing rules that permits state associations to adopt a “running clock” when a point differential is attained. This provision is in place for all football-playing schools for all levels in Kentucky:
Any time the score differential reaches thirty-five (35) points or more, the following changes will be made regarding rules determining when the clock will be stopped and/or started. In addition, in keeping with the rules that allow for mutual agreement between coaches for period shortening, the running clock may be implemented at any time by mutual agreement of the coaches. Coaches’ choice may not supersede the automatic provisions with a 35-point differential.
1. Once the running clock provisions are implemented, the clock shall continue to run from the point that the differential occurs (without regard to a later return to less […]

At its meeting last week, the KHSAA Board of Control approved a staff recommendation to give teams in three-team districts options as to the scheduling of required games. Three-team districts in baseball, basketball, soccer, softball and volleyball will continue to be seeded by rule. However, the districts will decide (by majority vote) if they play each other twice, or once during regular season.
As districts conduct meetings to decide scheduling and site selection plan options for next year and beyond, discussion should include these decisions as well for all […]

1/28/13 – Board approves realignment proposal for Region 1
Today at the regular Board of Control meeting, the Board of Control approved the alignment of teams in Region 1 to begin with the 2013-2014 school year. These decisions are never easy, but this one was made smoother by the great cooperation and feedback from the member schools in Region 1. The Board honored the wished of the schools to leave the membership in Region 1 intact (not move any new school into the region), and approved option A as presented to the schools at the meeting of schools in Mayfield. These changes will be mirrored wherever possible and practical in the alignments for baseball, softball, volleyball and soccer, as well as basketball.
Again, thank you for all of your help and communication.
The alignment of teams effective for 2013-2014 in Region 1 will be:
District 1 – Carlisle County, Fulton City, Fulton County, Hickman County
District 2 – Ballard Memorial, Graves County, Mayfield

Based on annual inquiries, the following is a reminder to all schools from the Handbook about the wearing of gear for football workouts/practice throughout the year.
What equipment can be worn, what activities can occur, and what restrictions are in place for football practice and the wearing of football gear? The following are the allowances and timelines for the wearing of pads and the conducting of practice based on specific time of the year:
(1) From the team’s elimination from postseason play through the end of the school year with the exception of the official spring practice period, the following stipulations are in place.
a. No football gear, including the helmet, can be worn. This does not preclude the issuance of protective gear to individual athletes for specific singular activities such as an all-star contest or to attend a skills combine; and
b. There is no KHSAA catastrophic insurance during this period.
(2) During […]

11/04/12 – Results of 2011-2012 Football Playoff Format Survey of Member Schools
In light of seemingly endless discussion about possible alternative formats for the football playoffs, it seems prudent to be sure the public is reminded of the results of a 2011-2012 survey of the membership regarding this issue. Clearly the consensus is that there is not consensus. Unfortunately, each respondent tends to look at the issue from the lens of their own situation. This data will continue to be reviewed, and alternatives will always be on the table for discussion. In the same way that what was right in 1985 is not likely right today, today’s system may not be the best for tomorrow.
The results are as follows:

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, […]
10/26/12 – KHSAA Tabs Angolia As Its New Communications Director
KHSAA TABS ANGOLIA AS ITS NEW COMMUNICATIONS DIRECTOR
LEXINGTON, Ky. – Kentucky High School Athletic Association (KHSAA) Commissioner Julian Tackett today announced the hiring of Joe Angolia as the organization’s new Communications Director. Angolia brings over 10 years of experience in collegiate athletics at the NCAA Division I level to the position, the last seven of which were spent as the Sports Information Director at the University of Arkansas-Little Rock (UALR). He will begin his duties at the KHSAA on full-time basis on November 12.
“We had an overwhelming number of qualified applicants for this position, but felt Joe’s experience and background made him an ideal fit for the KHSAA,” said Tackett. “He brings a wealth of experience in collegiate athletics, managing events and fulfilling media needs, a journalism background as well as a familiarity with the Commonwealth of Kentucky, which will be a tremendous asset to this organization and our membership. Joe will be […]

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.

10/22/12 – 6A Bracketing Reminder
6A is the class that has a rotating cross-bracket chart listed in the Competition Rules (numbered page 16 of http://khsaa.org/handbook/competitionrules/fbcompetitionrules.pdf). District 2 was originally assigned only three teams to the district, and lost one of them (Nelson County) through a school split beginning this year.
In addition, be mindful that District 6 was permitted to have its 5th place team automatically become the 4th seed in District 2 for the playoff pairings purposes. This assurance that the 5th place team would always face a 1st place team was key in the approval of the experimental bracketing to prevent a team from District 6 from being sent to a geographically isolated part of the state for playoffs.
Districts 2 and 3 are paired for the playoffs this year. So the fifth place team in District 6 will be the fourth place team in District 2 for playoff purposes. Part of this issue is resolved for […]
Louis Stout Memorial Fund for Students
The family of former KHSAA Commissioner Louis Stout has established a memorial fund in honor of the former Commissioner’s 31 years of service to the KHSAA. Mrs. Anna Stout has requested that donations be made to the Louis Stout Memorial Fund for Students, c/o KHSAA, 2280 Executive Drive, Lexington, KY 40505. The KHSAA will provide a receipt for any such donation, which is fully tax deductible and 100% of all donations will be used for special projects in his name specifically benefitting students and will not be used in any way by the General Fund of the KHSAA.
9/20/12 – New Free NFHS Coaching Education Course Helps with NCAA Eligibility Center
The NFHS and NCAA have jointly announced a new course through their learning center that helps fully explain the requirements related initial collegiate eligibility. This FREE course should be viewed by Athletic Directors and Guidance Counselors who have the thought that any of their students may eventually be desiring to play sports at an NCAA institution (at any level). The rules of the NCAA continually change, and this course is extremely helpful in explaining these rules.
The NCAA Eligibility Center Coaching Education course has been jointly developed by the Eligibility Center and the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS). The course is designed to educate teachers, coaches, parents, and counselors about the NCAA’s initial eligibility requirements. After completing the course, you will be more prepared to advise your student-athletes about the necessary steps to become certified to compete in NCAA Divisions I and II athletics. Coaches can complete a course immediately and will […]
09/20/12 – NFHS Releases Opposition to Proposed 10-month Soccer Schedule for U.S. Soccer
The NFHS, supported by the member state associations including the KHSAA, has released a position opposing the new 10-month schedule proposed by the U.S. Soccer Development Academy. This proposed schedule is an effort to force kids to choose between school based programs (such as those sponsored by KHSAA) and the Development Academy designed to help with the national teams to represent the US in international competition. To require this choice by a vast majority of participants, when there is a very minimal chance the student would ever be selected for one of those teams, is simply not in the best interest of students who will never again have the opportunity for the high school experience. I feel as Commissioner of the KHSAA, that this is simply unconscionable as an alternative for students to have to make that choice. The full text of the statements by NFHS Executive Director Bob Gardner is contained at http://www.nfhs.org/content.aspx?id=7684, and […]

9/18/12 – Commissioner’s Remarks to 2012 KHSAA Annual Meeting
Commissioner’s Remarks
General Session, 2012 KHSAA Annual Meeting
When I sat down a few weeks ago and discussed the board’s evaluation from last year and plans for the coming year, I was again told to take those thoughts to the membership this morning, including plans for some operational changes and potential regulation changes.
As most of you know, my philosophy is perhaps a little different than some of my predecessors. I don’t want to study something to death, or be comfortable “the way it’s always been done”. I think for too long, as an association, we stood at the fork in the road and spent far too much time trying to decide which way to go. We will take those forks we choose, and then another if that doesn’t work out.
Last year was a smooth year operationally, although a down year financially. Our staff […]
9/14/12 – Proposal by Proposal Analysis of 2012 Annual Meeting Proposals
This is the second part of a two-part effort to talk about the 2012 KHSAA Annual Meeting.
There are nine proposals on the agenda this year. All but one are part of the Board’s required Annual Review and the vast majority are attempts to modernize the regulations. In some cases, they are provisions that combine pieces from several parts into one rule. Others call for removal of provisions that haven’t been utilized in many many years. As we continue to see turnover in athletic administrators, it is vitally important that the rules be as clear and concise as possible.
PROPOSAL 1 – Amend Bylaw 5 to clarify and reinforce provisions – Issues have arisen this school year that point to the need to modernize Bylaw 5 and its wording to ensure that any existing misinterpretation is clarified within the requirements for Bylaw 5. No special test or recitation may be given to restore eligibility for […]
9/14/12 – KHSAA Annual Meeting – Your Chance to be Involved!
This is a great time of year. In all areas of the state, school has started. The Friday night lights are lit, the fields and courts are in use every night (and seems like 24 hours in some areas and schools). And this year, we have just completed a circuit around the state holding regional meetings about KHSAA operations, online data management and Title IX.
But then reality sets in, and its time to deal with some of the “business issues” surrounding the KHSAA. And a lot of that business is accomplished through the Annual Meeting. Truth be told, other than the championship final events and recognition ceremonies, this event continues to be one of my favorites. Our staff gets to sit down and meet with those people in the trenches at the local schools, and talk about issues facing both groups. Our philosophies and perspectives are different, so too naturally are our opinions.
I […]
9/14/12 – Sport Activity Survey Input Needed
In order for plans to be made, regions to be drawn and competition rules to be developed, it is important that we know whether or not your school intends to compete in the four sport-activities championships for 2012-2013. Please complete the questions at http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/2013SportActivitySurvey on or before Friday, September 28, 2012. If you have questions about any sport-activity, please feel free to contact the office. Thank you very much for your support!9/13/12 – Southern HS Regional Meeting Cancelled
The final regional meeting, originally scheduled for September 22 at Southern HS has been cancelled due to a lack of advance registered attendees. Based on input from the membership, this meeting may be rescheduled for later in the school year. We apologize for any inconvenience this cancellation may cause.
09/07/12 – Reminder about Weather Interrupted Football Games
Based on the number of inquiries in the last few hours, it seems prudent to remind schools and officials about the required procedures involving interrupted football games.
Basically, there is no such thing as a no contest. Regardless of how long or short games go due to inclement weather, it cannot be treated as though it never happened. Once it starts, it starts.
Two valuable resources are laid out in the KHSAA policies. First, if you look at the Officials Guidebook, it clearly talks about the officials authority NOT being absolute on whether or not we resume. It says:
SEVERE WEATHER / HEAT ILLNESS POLICY FOR ACTIONS BY OFFICIALS AT OUTDOOR SPORTS
The Referee (Lead Official / Crew Chief) shall stop play in a contest or scrimmage at the first sound of lightning or thunder at the site. The playing site shall be cleared immediately of all persons. The contest or scrimmage may be resumed […]
9/5/12 – Proposals Online for Annual Meeting
The Proposals for the 2012 Annual Meeting of the membership have been posted again online at the Annual Meeting link. They had been taken down for a few days while the file format was repaired to make sure they appeared in the correct order. Find them at http://khsaa.org/general/annual-meeting-information/
The Commissioner will prepare a blog early next week describing each one of the proposals.
9/4/12 – Reminder about KHSAA Annual Meeting
This is the second reminder about this year’s KHSAA Annual meeting. It’s each school’s opportunity to have a say in the rules of the Association for the future. In addition, there will be professional development opportunities in the morning as usual, with this year’s session focusing on the cleaning and long-term preservation of indoor playing surfaces such as gym floors; a vital session on intellectual property and the need to protect your school logo and other items; and an update with suggested implementation of the development of an Emergency Action Plan. Be sure and go to http://khsaa.org/general/annual-meeting-information/ and see details, including registration for the meeting.
For housing information, please see details from the prior blog entry from August 13 at http://khsaa.org/annual-meeting-reminders/
We will continue to update you with more information as the meeting gets closer!
