Tipping Off 2014-15 Basketball Season
December 3, 2014

Are you ready for basketball season?
We are at the MHSAA, with schedules for nearly 1,500 girls and boys varsity teams to prove it.
The first girls games of 2014-15 were played Monday, and we're putting the finishing touches on each team's schedule page on our website at MHSAA.com that will allow everyone to follow those teams and league standings for each as games are played. But for a task this massive, I'm asking for a few moments of your double-checking help to make our scores and schedules the best available source of high school hoops information in Michigan.
As I mentioned, we along with our schools have entered varsity schedules for most of our teams. But some of the data we're seeking includes:
- Missing games, or changes to dates or times for games we've entered.
- Correct league standings, with the right teams in the right conferences.
- Matchups for tournaments and showcases, most of which will be played from mid-December through mid-January. We have events listed but most opponents "to be determined."
See something we can fix or have a schedule we're missing? Email me directly at [email protected] and we'll make the changes as soon as possible.
Entering scores is easy as well: Log in with a previously-created account, or click the "Register" link on the top right-hand corner of MHSAA.com, and create a new one in 30 seconds or less.
Thanks in advance. Your help will contribute to a valuable resource for thousands of players, coaches and fans all over the state and beyond.
Be the Referee: Basketball Replay

Be The Referee is a series of short messages designed to help educate people on the rules of different sports, to help them better understand the art of officiating, and to recruit officials.
Below is this week's segment – Basketball Replay - Listen
When watching a college or NBA game, the last two minutes of the game can seem like they take forever, especially in recent years where more and more judgment calls made by officials are subject to instant replay.
At the high school level, video is not used to make a ruling or confirm or overturn a call made during the course of the contest. The only time video review is used in basketball at the high school level is at the MHSAA Semifinal and Final games.
In these games, video review can be used only to determine if a shot was released in time at the end of the fourth quarter or overtime or if that shot was a 2-point or 3-point field goal attempt.
The MHSAA believes that this very limited use of replay in these games at the very end of the tournament series in boys and girls basketball is the right call.
