Miaa’s basketball committee certainly caused her feelings on the margin of Victoria to know each other.
On Wednesday morning, the Committee voted 14-1-1 to ask the tournament management committee to explore a power ratings that do not include the margin of Victoria. This is not the first time that the basketball committee expresses its disgust with respect to the current system.
On May 24, 2022, the Committee voted to eliminate the margin of the victory component only to fall into deaf ears once it reached the supervisors of the Association Tournament.
The only vote against Wednesday was the Atlético director of Tewksbury, Ron Druuin. The objection of Uruin was not under the premise of eliminating the margin of Victoria, but currently there is no alternative solution.
“I don’t want to go back to the way things were where it was only about gaining percentage,” said Drouin. “That is the reason for my objection. I just don’t want to go back. “
St. Mary’s’s athletics director and president of the Committee, Jeff Newhall, voted to refrain from the motion for similar reasons, pointing out the support to the premise but is not willing to vote in favor without an alternative formula on the table. The athletic director of Whitman-Hanson, Bob Rodgers, who sits in the basketball committee, wants to ensure that his opposition to the current format is known.
“My main reason why I wanted to publish it is that I do not want our silence to be interpreted that we now believe it is fine,” Rodgers said. “Those who have the power to solve this need to understand that those of us who do not have the power want to solve it. What we are doing right now is bad for children. “
The basketball link Miaa Peter Smith and the director of the Jim Quatromoni tournament also took the time to discuss the next postseason. Miaa has 25 sites to choose from neutral round games that begin in state semifinals from March 10 to 12.
Game sites will be determined based on what makes more geographically sense for the teams that oppose. For the fourth consecutive year, the Tsongas center on the Umass Lowell campus is ready to receive the state basketball finals of children in each of the five divisions.
A possible hypo involves the Umass Lowell male hockey team. If the River Hawks are among the top four in the hockey east and, therefore, they become a host school in their conference tournament, the place would not be available for the use of Miaa on Saturday, March 15. Miaa trusts such circumstances that the place could still use on Friday, March 14 and Sunday, March 16. The sets established for Saturday are probably transferred to Worcester State or Worcester Polytech Institute (WPI).
When talking about the 2026 tournament format, the Atlético director of the Worcester Public Schools, David Shea, asked to transfer the cutting date of the regular season from its usual February holidays until Wednesday.
A transfer to a Limit on Wednesday would allow the noisy tournament to be published on Friday and schools began programming buses before the weekend, when bus companies are often closed. The Committee agreed to conversation of the 2026 format conversation to its next meeting scheduled for May 21.
