I was at a district championship game tonight and one team had 16 players in uniform. I thought that you could only dress 15 players in uniform for post season. Is this a violation? What would the penalty be for this?

I also thought 15 was the limit but seemed like SK has 20 dressed.

Can you dress, but just not be in the scorebook?

That makes sense. Who cares what your clothes a kid wears.

I am not sure, but I think this rule may have changed.

They should dress the whole JV and Varsity team!

Let the JV kids know what it feels like just being in the Region Tournament

make them hungry to get back

I don't know about dressing, but you can only have 15 listed in the scorebook.

 

We (Brossart) carry twenty on our roster but have only dressed 15 during the district tournament.

A coach can submit an unlimited number of players on an eligibility list which must be submitted one week before the start of the tournament. They can only list 15 players for each game. No other players are supposed to be dressed.

 

Here's a link to the rules. You'll have to go down to page 4.

KHSAA Tournament Rules

 

A school may enter a team composed of fifteen (15) players in each post-season tournament game that must be players who appeared on the eligibility list (roster) submitted to the district tournament manager. The fifteen (15) players must be designated each game, and no other players may be in uniform and tournament management may further limit the number of individuals in the bench area.

 

This seems to be a violation. I hope for Coach Steiner that this is not the case! He has had enough bad breaks this year and is a man which works way to hard to have something such as this happen. If he did dress more than 15, it was only because a coach was trying to reward his players for all of their hard work and dedication to the team and the coaching staff!!

Officials are supposed to count the number of uniformed players on the floor. If that number is great than is in the official book (which according to what is posted above, is a maximum of 15), then a violation has occurred and a technical foul is supposed to be called. You can have more names/numbers in the book than is on the floor, but the opposite is a violation.

Even if it is a violation the KHSAA as usual doesn't specify a punishment anyway. maybe it will fall under their ever popular:creepy: "fine " structure next season.

Sounds like something the game officials should have caught and dealt with. I don't think there is much that can be done now.
