Basketball players who also play football, eligibility question

[Bull GreenDog]

If there are guys who play football and basketball, and the football team is still alive in the playoffs, how many days after football season ends must those players sit out before they are allowed to play basketball? I know there is a rule that they have to sit out for a period before they can play basketball but I'm not sure how long it is.

There’s no actual rule about it. Most schools seem to have the unwritten rule that a full week between sports should take place.

I played both and typically started right up on Monday. I could see if a kid is banged up a bit but if not get started.

Our bball coach typically sets aside a one day try out day for any football / basketball players. Normally any bball players who play football it is simply a formality BUT he does it the Saturday morning immediately after the last Friday night game....unless it's a Saturday night playoff game then it's the following Monday.

Everyone does it different, but one day after a long football season ? SMH.

I believe our coach usually does tryouts for any fb players the day after equipment turn in from Football.
