SEPTEMBER 1ST BEGINS INDIVIDUAL SKILL

INSTRUCTION OUTSIDE THE SEASON

OHSBCA 2017 C OACHES CLINIC SEPTEMBER 24-25

The No-Contact Period

This year’s 28 day no-contact period began August 1st and ends on August 31st. The no-contact period restricts coaches from any basketball related contact with players that played in your 7-12 program last year. I encourage you to look at the purpose of

this long-standing regulation and not different ways to ‘get around’ it. Players need a break, COACHES need a break and this also provides the much needed opportunity for fall sports to get underway. Any questions….check out this document: http://www.ohsaa.org/sports/bk/ReboundersReport/BasketballNo-ContactRule.pdf

Individual Instruction

As many of you make plans to utilize the permissions in this regulation, I urge you to review the restrictions. This is the 4th year for the Individual Instruction Regulation- originally proposed by the OHSBCA. The purpose of this was to provide coach-es the opportunity to provide individual SKILL instruction – NOT team workouts. I would encourage you to read, print and disseminate the updated explanation of this regulation located at: http://www.ohsaa.org/sports/bk/ReboundersReport/GeneralSportsRegulation8.6Explanation.pdf

Open Gyms, Conditioning Programs, Weight Lifting Programs

It has always been my intent to remove any and all misunderstandings as well as address all scenarios permitted within various other sports regulations – most notably those addressing “Open Gyms”, “Conditioning & Weight Programs”. This communi-cation should provide you with answers to many questions and close any loopholes one might often ‘think’ exists. As in the above, I strongly encourage you to read, print and disseminate the explanations of these regulations that can be found on the our “Rebounders Report” page .

Conditioning and Weight Lifting FAQ’s

Rules Meetings/Online Manual

Again this year, all State Rules Meetings will be conducted online. The rules meeting goes live not until October 17 (later than normal). The method to obtain it is much different and requires each coach to have what is called a “myOHSAA ac-count”. The only way they can receive that account is by the school athletic director adding the head coach’s name to the school’s staff management. That triggers an email to the coach and you then set up your account. The rules meeting is ONLY going to be available through the head coach’s myOHSAA Account.

HALL OF FAME NOMINA-

TIONS

Do you know of a legendary coach who is not in the Ohio High School

Basketball Coaches Association Hall of Fame? Why not nominate them?

We are often asked why a particular legendary coach is not in our Hall of

Fame. Usually, we have not received any nomination for that particular

coach. This is your opportunity to make sure that we get a nomination

form for the legendary coach.

The OHSBCA is now accepting nomination forms for the OHSBCA Hall

of Fame. The nomination form can be found on the OHSBCA website

and is available in PDF or WORD versions. DEADLINE for nomina-

tion forms is OCTOBER 1st. Nomination forms can be sent to Greg Nos-

saman at Olengtangy Liberty High School.

The OHSBCA inducts Ohio High School Basketball Coaches into its

Hall of Fame each year. The first year of induction was in 1987 where 9

legendary coaches were inducted into the initial class. This year, 2018,

marks the 32nd year that a class will be inducted in the Hall of

Fame. The total now stands at 151 Coaches who have been inducted into

the Ohio High School Basketball Coaches Association Hall of Fame.

The procedure used for the selection of candidates into the Hall of Fame

is as follows: (1) Voting takes place at the OHSBCA Fall Meeting, (2)

The candidates receiving the highest number of votes will be considered

to be the Class for that particular year, (3) Committee will make a recom-

mendation to the District Directors of the coaches to be inducted into the

Hall of Fame, (4) District Directors will vote to approve the recommen-

dation of the coaches to be inducted in the Hall of Fame and (5) A major-

ity vote for each candidate is required.

The criteria a nominee must possess in order to be considered as an in-

ductee are: (1) coached Varsity for twenty years, (2) won 300 Varsity

games, (3) was a member of the OHSBCA for the last ten years, (4) an

active member in the OHSBCA as a Director or Officer, (5) achieved

Tournament success and (6) retired from active coaching for one full

season before his/her induction date. The criteria to be considered for

Honorary Membership is the person must contribute to the total develop-

ment of the sport of basketball in a non-coaching or coaching capacity.

YES! You should continue to join the OHSBCA because you may start coach-

ing again in the near future. The OHSBCA is one of the largest basketball coach-

es associations in the United States. We have had coaches not join for a few

years and then they begin coaching once again, and they sometimes have elimi-

nated themselves from coaching honors. Worse yet, you may have lost the

chance for your son or daughter for consideration for the $1,000 coaches scholar-

ship. It also helps support the current student athletes involved in basketball and

keeps you updated on changes and current dates for awards and scholarships.

Rules affecting basketball coaches/team and officials are classified as being “Administrative Rules” or “Playing Rules”. There are limited RULE changes for the 2017-18 season and as a result, meetings will be held ONLINE only again this year. It is more efficient to deliver specific Administrative Rule changes/highlights to coaches and officials separately through an online delivery of the Mandatory State Rules Meetings. A significant amount of the meeting will be spent detailing specific General Sports Regulations affecting basketball. Completion of the “Online” meeting remains mandatory for 2017-18. The “Online” meeting for Coaches is geared exclusively FOR coaches while the “Online” meeting for Officials is exclusive for Officials. Quizzes are embedded within each online presentation. Note to Coaches: OHSAA Basketball Sports Regulations will be covered as well as General Regulations and Bylaws as they pertain to coaches and players. Though the main purpose is to provide knowledge and advice on the various OHSAA regulations, this is the education mechanism to insure compliance with the various rules and regulations. In light of many infractions that occur throughout the year, information provided in these meetings, whether face to face OR online is designed to reduce and prevent these infractions. Note to Officials: The Officials’ Online Rules meeting will be exclusive to Basketball officials. Most of the OHSAA’s rules and regulations affect the administration of the sport, overseen by Athletic Administrators and Basketball Coaches. Enforcement of such things as “coach certification”, practice start dates, number of contests, etc., are assigned to school administrators and coaches and will not be covered in the coaches’ online presentation and do not need to be covered in the Officials’ meeting. Dennis Morris, Director of Development for Basketball Officiating, will have the key role in the online delivery as well as the officiating portion of “face to face” meetings.

The ONLINE Rules Meeting link will be live on Tuesday, October 17, 2017 at 4:00 p.m.

The last day for completion of the online version is Wednesday, November 15, 2017 at 11:59 pm or a $50.00 late fee is charged for access to the online version. PLEASE do not call the office for verification after completing the online version, IF you ‘attend’…. TRUST the system and it will record your attendance. Tip: When you are viewing the meeting – make sure your ‘cache’ is emptied – close your browser before taking the meeting.

For Coaches: Rules meetings are ONLY available through the coach’s individual myOHSAA Account. IF you do not have your account already, you will obtain your myOHSAA Account in this way:

1. Your Athletic Director adds the staff member’s name by using the “Add New Staff” button. 2. Your AD follows the prompts to add the:

a. New Staff Member’s FIRST NAME

b. New Staff Member’s LAST NAME

c. New Staff Member’s EMAIL ADDRESS

d. Check box(es) to assign the appropriate roles/positions

e. Click the “INVITE NEW STAFF” button

3. The invited staff member (you) receives an email from info@myohsaa.org . The invite is ONLY GOOD FOR 10 DAYS!

4. Once the new staff member (you) opens the email,

a. Click the link inside and follow the prompts to either ‘login’ or ‘create an account’

Please note that all screens of the presentation must be viewed for attendance credit to be provided PLEASE note that this is NOT INSTANTANEOUS and is generally done approximately every 5 days. There is no ‘certificate of completion’ email that will be sent, as in years past. PLEASE do not call the OHSAA Office to verify your attendance—if you got to the last slide, you completed the meeting.

The ONLINE Rules Meeting link will be live on Tuesday, October 17 at 4:00 p.m.

Rules Interpretation Meeting Information

Sport Regulation 7.5 – Coaching Out of Season This is a significant change AND all coaches were provided this information in late July – a change that will now permit all school coaches to coach non-school (AAU, AYBT, GYB, etc.) outside the season with players from your school teams on it. You read that correctly – school coaches will now have permission to coach players from their own school on non-school teams (such as AAU) outside the season of play and not just during June and July. BUT, hold on…. Before you start thinking you can coach and have voluntary practice outside the season (such as in September or October) read further: First, there are 3 regulations that have not changed:

1. The No-Contact Period addressed above. It still exists and that STILL means that during those 2 periods of time you will NOT be permitted to coach. Good…we have established that. Now read on.

2. The regulations that limit any non-school team to only 2 players that played for the same school team still exists. That has not changed and there is no plan TO change it. And for the record, whether a school coach or a non-school coach is coaching a non-school team, the “50% rule” applies and there are no plans to change it.

3. There can be no rotating players from your school teams from one non-school game to another. In other words, your permission to coach a team that consists of 2 players from your school does NOT give you the permission to use 2 different players in each and every game you play in. This is true whether you are coaching the non-school team or not, rotating players to ‘get around’ the 2 player limit is not permitted. You simply cannot have 3 or more on a non-school roster and only play 2 in each game.

So….take the above and it is now easier to understand; the change in this regulation DOES now permit school coaches this opportunity, but other regulations remain unchanged that will not permit any coaching of any kind during the No-Contact Period AND will never permit you to coach a team that has more than 2 individuals on it (except during June and July). Incidentally, we ‘opened this up’ a year ago at the Middle School level with few repercussions. And, keep in mind – this permission to coach players is in ‘competitions’, it does not permit you to practice with them. The Individual Instruction regulation permits that.

NFHS Playing Rules permit the use of a running clock when a specific point differential is reached by STATE ADOPTION Beginning with the 2017-18 Tournament, this state adoption will be adopted in Ohio that will authorize a running clock anytime the score reaches a 35 point differential in the second half. This will be addressed in detail in tournament regulations as well as coach communications prior to the Sectional/District tournaments.

As you may know from last year, we designated a Friday night in January (January 19, 2018 for this year) that ALL STUDENT SECTIONAL across the state ban together for one consistent theme night – Military Appreciation Night. Your school AND your student groups will hear more about this through various communications, however we are asking YOUR HELP as the head coach to encourage participation in this night. Last year was an incredible success and much of this theme taken into the Friday night state tournament. YOUR leadership will go a long way into making this a successful night that last year was recognized nationally. THANK you for your encouragement to your student leaders.

Body water loss through sweating occurs during exercise to dissipate body heat and, therefore, prevent sharp rises in body core temperature. Sweat losses during exercise can be large, particularly during high-intensity or prolonged activity such as a basketball practice or game. When fluid intake is less than sweat loss, a body water deficit, or dehydration, occurs. Dehydration is often expressed as a percentage of body weight deficit (e.g., 2% dehydration is equivalent to 2% loss of body weight, which is three pounds in a 150-pound player).

EFFECT OF DEHYDRATION ON PERFORMANCE Research suggests that dehydration significantly impairs performance of basketball-specific skills. In studies with competitive high school basketball players, 2% dehydration resulted in significantly slower sprinting and lateral (defensive) movements, as well as a lower shooting percentage during a simulated game. It is important to note that greater body water deficits resulted in further deteriorations in basketball performance. Dehydration (>2-3%) also may impair postural balance and cognitive performance, which are both important aspects of the game of basketball.

PRACTICAL HYDRATION ASSESSMENT TECHNIQUES Fluid intake habits off the court are important in determining how well hydrated an athlete is at the start of a training session or game. Once the practice or game begins, fluid intake is needed to replace sweat losses and maintain fluid balance. Practical techniques are available to determine an athlete’s hydration status and fluid intake needs. These include

monitoring body weight (e.g., fluctuation in morning body weight or change from before to after exercise) and urine (e.g., color or urine specific gravity). For example, first morning nude body weight can be a useful indicator of hydration status. In an individual who is well hydrated and in “energy balance,” morning body weight (after voiding) is stable and not expected to deviate by >1%. Thus, when a first morning nude body weight deviates from “normal” morning body weight (established by regular measurements over a period of several days) by >1%, the individual may be dehydrated, especially if accompanied by dark/concentrated urine. Body weight assessments can also be used to gauge an athlete’s sweat loss during a workout. Body weight change from before to after exercise represents 16 ounces of water loss per one pound of body weight loss.

RECOMMENDATIONS Because of the deleterious effects of dehydration on basketball performance, it is recommended that athletes start practice well-hydrated, drink enough fluid to prevent ≥2% body weight deficit during a practice session or game and rehydrate to replace any remaining body fluid deficit after a workout. Rapid and complete rehydration is especially important if the athlete is participating in a practice session or game within the same day.

Table 1 contains detailed hydration strategies to aid proper hydration before, during and after training or competition. It is recommended that sodium be consumed with water to help stimulate thirst, replace sweat electrolyte losses and retain ingested fluids. Providing a chilled beverage with the addition of flavor and sweetness can also improve beverage palatability and voluntary fluid intake.

Sweating rates can vary considerably among players (and even from day-to-day within players) because of differences in genetics, body size, heat acclimation status, exercise-intensity and environmental conditions. Therefore, it is important that fluid intake is customized for each individual’s hydration needs.

OCCASION AROUND TRAINING/COMPETITION

HYDRATION ASSESSMENT TECHNIQUE

DEFINITION RECOMMENDATIONS

Before Morning body weight In a euhydrated individual who is in “energy balance,” morning body weight (after voiding) is stable and not expected to deviate by >1%.

Determine “normal” (euhydrated) baseline body weight by taking daily measurements (over a period of ≥3 days).

If morning body weight has dropped by >1% from “normal,” then drink fluid to re-establish baseline body weight.

Urine specific gravity Specific gravity is a measure of urine concentration. A urine sample <1.020 is indicative of euhydration. This technique requires an instrument called a refractometer.

Slowly drink beverages (e.g., ~5–7 mL/kg) at least four hours before the exercise task. If no urine is produced, or urine is dark or highly concentrated, slowly drink more fluid (e.g., another ~3–5 mL/kg) about two hours before the event.

Urine color Light yellow (like lemonade) is indicative of euhydration.

Dark yellow or brown (like apple juice) is indicative of dehydration.

Clear urine is indicative of overhydration

Consuming beverages with sodium (20–50 mEq/L or 110-270 mg/8 oz) and/or small amounts of salted snacks or sodium-containing foods will help retain the consumed fluids.

During Change in body mass

Measure pre- and post-workout body weight to determine expected sweat loss during training and games of various intensities, durations and environmental conditions.

Body weight should be taken with minimal dry clothing or nude, if possible.

Avoid significant body weight deficit (i.e., ≥2%). Also avoid any body weight gain.

Drink 16 oz. of fluid for each pound of sweat lost during the course of a workout.

Consuming a beverage with sodium (20-30 mEq/L or 110-160 mg/8 oz.) helps replace sweat sodium losses and stimulate thirst.

After Change in body mass

Compare post-workout body weight to pre-workout body weight. Body weight should be taken with minimal dry clothing or nude, if possible.

Drink ~24 oz. of fluid for each pound of body weight deficit.*

Consuming a beverage with sodium (20-50 mEq/L or 110-270 mg/8 oz.) and/or small amounts of salted snacks or sodium-containing foods helps replace

sweat sodium losses, stimulate thirst and retain the ingested fluids.

*Rapid and complete rehydration is especially important if participating in a practice session or game within the same day. Otherwise, normal eating and drinking practices (i.e., water and sodium intake with post-exercise meals and snacks) is usually sufficient to re-establish euhydration.

Definition: Euhydration, “normal” body water content, which is maintained by drinking enough fluid to replace sweat losses, as indicated by maintenance of body weight
