Plenty of coaching staffs, school districts and families willing to cover and not report positive tests so hoops can go forward.I'm afraid things aren't looking good for basketball season. If teams are going to be quarantined every time a player tests positive or every time that they have played against someone who then tests positive, there aren't going to be enough teams left to play.
ImThey could push back the tournament dates back by a few weeks. I doubt the State Finals will be in Cbus, that's too much money.
Should be the same as volleyball, so likely not many non-family fans.Slated for Dayton this year. Will there even be fans allowed this year other than families?
What state is Notre Dame in?I agree with you. Just wondering why i get one ticket per family to see my son play. Not even enough for both parents. We wear masks and are sitting 6 feet apart and there is a massive amount of empty stadiums seats. Maybe those Notre Dame people are special. It’s ridiculous how the covid rules seem to be applied very unevenly. No haircut for me but ok for Chicago mayor. No football viewing in person for me but no problem for Notre Dame students. I would and have gladly worn a mask and social distanced.
Usually an egotistical one.What state is Notre Dame in?

I think after Dewine's presser today, recommending no school between Thanksgiving & New Year's
I think after Dewine's presser today, recommending no school between Thanksgiving & New Year's, we're going to see a shortened basketball season (6 weeks like football) restarting after the first of the year with practice & scrimmages first and games on MLK weekend. Tournament starting at same time, with teams allowed to keep playing games after they are eliminated until the end of the state finals.
Just my 2 cents.
My wife's schools is looking to do this. They got an email Monday about what is expected if they go remote. They might be off from Thanksgiving till after the first of the year. Sounds like most colleges are doing this as well. They've had a lot of kids quarantined and are short subs every day. She also said teachers in other districts have said the same thing.I think after Dewine's presser today, recommending no school between Thanksgiving & New Year's, we're going to see a shortened basketball season (6 weeks like football) restarting after the first of the year with practice & scrimmages first and games on MLK weekend.

You are so uplifting.Sounds like at least 2 bball teams in Stark County are quarantined. That means no practice for at least 2 weeks. I have a feeling there will be more over the next few weeks.
My school's boys team is 1 of them. Scrimmaged the other day and sometime between Thurs. afternoon and Fri. morning, learned that a player on the opposing team returned a positive test. Assuming no other issues between now and the end of quarantine, they'll still have a week to practice before their 1st game. At least 1 of the players will be entering his 2nd quarantine of the school year. A check of the seating charts placed him close to a student who tested positive a few weeks ago. So far, that student is the only confirmed positive the school has had as of this post. It helps that it's a small student body inside a building that was designed to accommodate significantly more students than are currently enrolled.Sounds like at least 2 bball teams in Stark County are quarantined.

It's not a so much about being safe at school its the numbers of kids being traced once a positive test hits. One positive test can take 30 kids out of school. This can reduce the attendance number below the states allowable amount and even though you are in class it does not count as a day of teaching. If schools go remote, every day counts. The kids quarantined by contact would not longer be removed from activities and sports could still be played. there is an overwhelming total of people in quarantine right now that are not sick and it is all because of the tracing policy. if schools go remote this can be reduced greatly.If it isn't safe for kids to go to school then why would you even think of trying to play sports .....
Our entire district is in the middle of a shutdown (remote) that originally was supposed to end he 23rd, but has now been extended through Thanksgiving break. We are not allowed to practice or have scrimmages.It's not a so much about being safe at school its the numbers of kids being traced once a positive test hits.

I still can't believe 8 months into this mess we're still having these same issues that put a halt to the end of last season?I saw some schools have already started canceling games
Many schools have been or gone into remote learning. My point was the contact tracking is out of control. How can a school claim they are keeping kids at a social distance and following the mask requirements when they send 30 kids home with a single positive test. That is admittance that 31 kids were not following the guidelines.Our entire district is in the middle of a shutdown (remote) that originally was supposed to end he 23rd, but has now been extended through Thanksgiving break.
