Good Luck With Your 2020 Season

Optimism is sky high this time of year as we begin our basketball seasons. Coaches and players have worked extremely hard with aspirations of winning district titles, qualifying for the playoffs, and ultimately earning a trip to the state tournament!

From my high school days when only one team per district qualified for the playoffs to nowadays where up to four teams punch their playoff ticket, the excitement is palpable. Many district races come down to the outcomes of games on the last day of the regular season. Still, other districts' playoff reps are determined via tie-breaker games.

Rarely does any season go smoothly without some form of adversity. As coaches, we need to right the ship for our team when the going gets rough. Players look to coaches for direction in navigating these turbulent times. We, as coaches, are at our best when providing leadership and guidance for our student-athletes.

May you all have healthy successful seasons!

State Rankings Info and Procedures

The state rankings will be updated on the TABC web site every Monday through the end of the regular season and are also sent to media outlets via the Associated Press. TABC ranks the top 25 teams in each UIL class and the top 10 teams in each private school class. That is a total of 440 boys and girls teams that are recognized in the rankings each week. The rankings are based on the information we have gathered from coaches around the state. Our goal with the UIL schools is to have the four teams that will reach the state tournament ranked in the top ten and to have the sixteen teams that will make the regional tournaments ranked in the top 25. We need your help to ensure we have as much information on which to base the rankings as possible.

If your team is ranked, please send in your weekly results including opponents and scores. If your team is not ranked but you feel they deserve to be, please send in your season results to date including opponents and scores.

TABC in association with the Texas Athletic Directors Association is again offering complimentary membership to Texas Athletic Directors, Principals and Superintendents. Many of these people are former coaches and friends of basketball. We welcome them and would like their input on how we can help their basketball programs. If your administrators would like to join TABC, we need their e-mail address, a mailing address and phone number so they can receive our newsletter and we can create their new membership card and mail it to them. Please share this information with administrators. We would like to say welcome to those who have already joined. We appreciate your support.

Milestone Awards

TABC presents Milestone Awards to Texas coaches who reach their 300th varsity win and each multiple of 100 thereafter. If you reach one of those milestones during the season, please let TABC know immediately so that we can order your plaque. Plaques commemorating 300 and 400 wins can be picked up at the TABC clinic or it will be mailed to you. Plaques for 500 and subsequent milestones are presented during a halftime ceremony at the UIL state tournaments. We must send a list of all coaches who will participate in that ceremony by February 1, so please don't wait until after your season is over to let us know about your achievement. Please e-mail TABC at office@ when you reach your 300th, 400th, 500th and subsequent century marks.

Hoops for Hope - Texas Style

TABC would again like to encourage our members to send us any news on activities in which your teams participate involving raising funds in the fight against cancer and other diseases. We have called our coordinated effort Hoops for Hope ? Texas Style in order to include the many causes for which you raise money. Many schools have hosted fundraisers to provide assistance for, or in honor of, local teachers, coaches, students or residents. Some have mirrored the NCAA Coaches vs. Cancer efforts where both opposing coaches wear basketball shoes during their game. Others have hosted "Pink Out" events which have raised funds for "The Cure." Please send TABC news and pictures you have from your events during the season. They serve to give you and your team recognition for your efforts and also to give others ideas on how they might be able to help as well. Keep up the good work and let us hear about it.
