I think what he is trying to say, is that the existence of the All A keeps the fans/schools from putting pressure on the KHSAA.

 

I understand that to a point, but my point is that the KHSAA could care less whether there is an All A tournament or not as it won't change their mind about classification. Honestly I guess it doesn't matter what keeps it away as we are not going to see classification anywhere in the near future and I for one am very glad for that.

All-A State Champions.

 

It's called the All-A Classic. They are the All-A Classic tournament Champions. Nothing more.

True, they are not at all. Problem is that the private schools, particularly the Louisville schools essentially start in 1st grade. It is like the old Soviet Union (okay, strong comparison) where kids are trained from 1st-8th grade at the private schools programs. I suppose we should be doing that in basketball, right?

 

Yes. What's stopping you? Works great in volleyball. It's why volleyball is taking over.

I don't know why people love to hate on the All A Classic. If it wasn't for it there would be classification in basketball. It takes a ton of pressure off the KHSAA because it gives small schools their recognition. Everyone should be thankful for it.

 

Why do we need to take the pressure off of the KHSAA?

That is just it, there is no pressure on the KHSAA because no matter what some fans and even some small schools want, there will be no classification in the near future.

The Sweet 16 financial supports the KHSAA for the whole year.

Great question and one I need to think about seriously! Guess I have not out the vision into practice like Ron Kordes (Assumption Volleyball and KIVA travel director) did about 20 plus years ago. Need to find me a facility.
