I always thought the “ville” was Glenville? Cute that Centerville is calling themselves that.

Yeah we heard of them its your school
Yeah, there must be some sort of provision to allow them to play in this. Do it kinda like ACME but with basketball?
The press release by the National Basketball Players Association (NBPA) on The Throne basketball tournament:

Name change means they are going as a club team not school related. Most likely fundraisers/ donors footed the bill
From the NBPA website...
*Some participating programs have opted to play as designated club programs. Though they are playing under their club program name, the players are all students at the same high school.
"The games will be showcased by FOX Sports across FOX, FS1, FOXSports.com and the FOX Sports App as well as NBA TV and the NBA App. The Championship game on Saturday, April 1 will air on the FOX broadcast network, the first-time high school basketball will air on a broadcast network in over twenty years. This will also be the first time that NBA TV will be broadcasting high school basketball live."

Some of those teams are loaded!
OHSAA has a dead period 30 days after your last game where coaches can't do any basketball related stuff with their kids. Also, this is billed as a "club" tournament so wouldn't it be non-interscholastic which would mean only three Centerville kids can be on the team? So many questions.....
Talk some sense

Is anybody sure it's the Centerville varsity team intact? Might just be seniors with some other area seniors. Maybe just wait and see.
A good point!

I thought after a team's season is over the seniors are "free agents" to do as they want.. All they would lose is eligibility for any spring sports had they been so inclined to participate.
If seniors are "free agents" as mentioned, maybe The Ville club team will consist of the 5 or 6 seniors with 3 underclassmen teammates if that is allowed by OHSAA.
There are a few teams listed that have kids from other schools on the roster. This appears to be glorified AAU.

Then let's put together Pick Central and Centerville to represent Ohio BB for this tournament
Team Ohio? I’m down!

If the underclassmen want to give up their eligibility for next season(s). Just in case you don't get it, they would be giving up their eligibility
for all OHSAA sports forever.
Follow me here:
Nobody from the Centerville staff coaches
The Seniors play
No more than three underclassmen play
This would be no different than an all-star game or AAU tournament.

You might be right, I combed through the OHSAA bylaws and can't find anything that directly addresses that situation.

The rules of the tournament follow the states the tournament is in guidelines in terms of who can and cannot play
Been the rumor all season, could definitely coach the seniors, not sure how that would impact coaching the underclassmen. There could still be 3 max.

Specifics, please.
The roster of Centerville's club team will include 6 seniors and 3 underclassmen per the athletic department. No mention of who coaches the team.
