Practice or warm-ups are not allowed during halftimes of basketball games, according to AHSAA policy. Teams can warm-up between games just prior to the scheduled starting time for their game. Home management has the responsibility to monitor this policy. Game officials will not address the issue but will have the responsibility to report violations to the State Office. Any team violating this policy may be subject to a fine and probation. If a game is delayed or halted due to damaged equipment because of policy violations, the team will be required to forfeit its scheduled contest.
During the 2009-10 season, state high school associations will be allowed to use replay equipment, if available, in state basketball championships to determine the final outcome of games. This addition to Rule 2-2-1 was one of two major rules changes and five major editorial revisions approved for next season.
