By-Laws amended at GHSA Executive Committee Meeting

MACON – It was a big win for GHSA basketball as the board cured a long-standing headache for coaches across Georgia, the 2-on-1 rule. By-Law 2.69 (b) in the Georgia High School Association Constitution long has restricted coaches to conducting offseason skill-building workouts with just two players at a time. On Monday, the board of directors passed the proposal to increase the player limit to four athletes at a time.

Another change for the upcoming season will be a universal coin toss to decide who receives home court advantage when teams with the same seed meet each other in the playoffs. Determined by a single flip of a coin, “upper or lower line” teams on the bracket will have their travel fate decided at one time as a whole instead of having multiple coin flips for each individual game.

The GHSA marketing report revealed that there was a 24% increase in tickets sold at the basketball state championships this season thanks to the move to Georgia and Georgia Tech.
