Basketball Classes
- Thread starter Majost
- Start date
I don't understand the reasoning behind holding the numbers, districts, classes under wraps until 2 weeks into the season. Not just for basketball, but every sport. What's the reason for that? They get the enrollment numbers in the spring, so they just sit on the info for 8 months?
HEY, it's hard work to screw EVERYTHING up...it takes time! Give MSHSAA some credit,,,,they do a good job of screwing up by taking their time doing it
The given reason is to make sure that all the small schools that say they are going to have a team in a sport actually have enough for a team before teams are assigned to a district.
Doesn't explain holding back the enrollment numbers though. Last year they released them in August or September. There's no reason to not release them.

private schools:
"what does it take to be in class 3?"
mshsaa:
"xx amount of kids"
private schools:
okay, we are of course one shy of xx amount of kids, so put us in class 2---yea that's the ticket"

Not the private schools in which I’ve worked. They wanted as many kids possible for their tuition money. Plus, the multiplier of the past, in your “scenario,” would have put them in Class 3.
Not to my knowledge. Your point is? Bottom line, just like in a public school, is green. Not a classification. We are talking about America, after all.
I’m sure there has to be some way to check numbers just like with public schools. I haven’t been an AD for a number of years so I don’t work that closely with administration anymore. But it sounds like you guys have years of experience working in private schools, so I’m sure you have firsthand, inside knowledge.
I answered your question. Who’s snowflaking? In Perryville and Ste. Gen. Where did you?
To my knowledge, never happened when I was there. Every few years there was talk of closing because of low enrollment.
