Rules Updates  

NFHS Ban On Concept 1 Shoes Is Lifted

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.
