Failure to Attend Meetings

Member schools of the Michigan High School Athletic Association have agreed throughRegulation II, Section 8(B) that the head coach of varsity teams for sports that have anMHSAA postseason tournament must either attend the rules meeting in that sport or pass therules examination for that sport.

Recent surveys indicate schools value these meetings and do not want attendancerequirements eliminated. They provide an opportunity for coaches and officials to hear atthe same time about the changes and special emphases in contest rules and to reviewMHSAA tournament terms and conditions.

On Dec. 1, 1999, the MHSAA Representative Council adopted the policy of publishingin the MHSAA Bulletinthe names of schools which, for two consecutive years, fail to havetheir head coach either attend the rules meeting or pass the rules examination. For the win-ter seasons of both 2000 and 2001, the following schools have failed to meet the require-ment:

Boys Basketball- Detroit Forten Academy Boys Swimming & Diving - NoneGirls Competitive Cheer - Oak Park Girls Volleyball - NoneIce Hockey- None Wrestling - None

May 2001 492

Not all the facts presented to the Executive Committee and Representative Council as part ofrequests to waive eligibility regulations are included in the reports of those meetings, eitherbecause of the volume of material reviewed or the confidentiality requested by schools fortheir students, parents or faculty.

Executive Committee Authority andResponsibility - The Executive Committeewas reminded of its authority under ArticleVII of the MHSAA Constitution and specifi-cally its responsibility to consider each appli-cation for waiver of an eligibility requirementon its individual merits, determining if theregulation serves the purpose for which itwas intended in each case or if the regulationworks an undue hardship on any student whois the subject of a request for waiver. (Theseunderlying criteria may not be restated forevery subject of these minutes.)

The Executive Committee was remindedthat it was the responsibility of each memberschool involved to provide sufficient factualinformation about the specific request for theExecutive Committee to reach a decisionwithout further investigation. If informationis incomplete, contradictory or otherwiseunclear or has been received too late to bestudied completely, the Executive Committeemay deny the request for waiver or delayaction. Such requests may be resubmitted tothe Executive Committee with additionalinformation at a subsequent meeting orappealed to the full Representative Council.

It is possible that some of the informationpresented as facts to the ExecutiveCommittee by school personnel and othersmay be inaccurate. However, to avoid con-stant repetition in these minutes of phrasessuch as "it was alleged" or "it was reported,"no attempt is made in the introduction of eachwaiver request to distinguish between truth,allegation, hearsay, opinion, summary or con-clusion.

A determination of undue hardship is a

matter addressed to the discretion of theExecutive Committee within the educationalphilosophy and secondary role of voluntaryextracurricular competitive athletics in theacademic environment. The ExecutiveCommittee was cautioned to avoid makingexceptions that would create precedent thateffectively changes a rule withoutRepresentative Council action or local boardof education adoption, which would exceedExecutive Committee authority.

Students for whom waiver of a particularregulation is granted must be eligible in allrespects under all other sections and interpre-tations of the regulations prior to their partici-pation.

Adoption of these regulations is a choiceschools make locally when they considertheir option of MHSAA membership.Consistent with rulings of the AttorneyGeneral and Michigan Supreme Court,schools are not bound by the decisions of theExecutive Committee, but the associationmay limit participation in the postseasontournaments it sponsors to those schoolswhich choose to apply rules and penalties aspromulgated by the MHSAA and adopted byeach member school's board of education.The MHSAA exercises no independentauthority over schools or students during reg-ular season.

The Executive Committee granted therequest until not later than June 1, 2001.

FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

Note: This is a preview of what will be aregular feature of the MHSAA Bulletin dur-ing the 2001-02 school year when each issuewill include an essay submitted by one of thenearly 3,000 MHSAA Scholar Athlete Awardcandidates for 2000-01.

One of the most energizing and affirminghours I have spent on the job over the past 15years was the time I spent alone with the2000-01 MHSAA scholar-athletes, March 24,2001.

After the presentation of plaques at half-time of the Class C Finals of the BoysBasketball Tournament, and after the profes-sional photographs, I sat with the classiest of2001, asked questions, and listened to ourbest and our brightest.

• "Have you experienced pressures fromnon-school programs to play or practice onesport at the exclusion of a second or thirdschool sport?"

The students said no, not really.However, these multi-talented students, eachwith many interests, admitted they had tomake choices; and several said they chose todrop the activity that required they limit oreliminate other opportunities. Several stu-dents identified basketball coaches as theleast tolerant of students' other interests andthat they had dropped that sport to do otherthings.

Could it be that coaches who demand stu-dents' single-minded focus do their programsmore harm than good?

• "A bill in the Michigan Legislaturewould require schools to conduct boys andgirls seasons at the same time in the samesport. What's good, or in the alternative,what's bad, about that proposal?"

Not one of the scholar-athletes said anyseasons should be changed. For cross countryand track and field, where facilities are spa-cious and the only cheering section may bethe other gender's team, coinciding seasonsare great, according to the students. Forswimming and diving and tennis and other

sports where facilities are limited, coincidingseasons would be a mistake, limiting opportu-nities for both genders and requiring coaches,who now coach both genders' teams, tochoose one over the other.

Might it be that our students know bestwhat works best, and the legislators andlawyers should stay out of their business?

• "What's the one thing that could bedone to improve sportsmanship?"

On this subject, the scholar-athletes, likethe school administrators who are trying toserve them, struggled for the answer. Theysaw many problems and many causes; butthey also conveyed the message that there ismuch more good sportsmanship than bad inschool sports.

Here's what the scholar-athletes had tosay about sportsmanship in the essays theysubmitted:

"Sportsmanship is very significant in allelements of life. However, it should alwaysbe maintained in the environment of a sport-ing event, especially at one sponsored by aschool. Sportsmanship teaches players andcoaches to be respectful in a difficult timeand hold one's composure at all times."

— Becky A. Stepp Waterford Kettering - Girls Basketball

"Sportsmanship is extended outside ofeducational athletics and into the real world.That is why sportsmanship within athletics isso important. All the components of sports-manship are equally important in life, andathletics gives individuals the chance todevelop their sportsmanship skills."

— Tom HakimClinton Township Chippewa Valley -

Boys Cross Country

"One vital role of sportsmanship is tohelp athletes persevere through setbacks andfailure. During my senior cross country sea-son, I struggled with injuries, and in one raceI had to walk from the two-mile mark to the

LISTENING TO SCHOLAR-ATHLETES

finish . . . As girls passed me, however,every single runner encouraged me. I heardagain and again: 'You're almost there!''Keep going!' 'You can finish this!' Theirsupport turned a disastrous race into a won-derful memory. "

— Karen Elizabeth LatusNew Buffalo - Girls Cross Country

"Sportsmanship is experienced. It is thefeeling one knows from making a sacrificefor your team's best interests. It is respectingyour opponent, and knowing they respectyou. It is a feeling of genuine gratitude forthe opportunity to play. It is graciousness invictory or defeat."

— Kevin Christopher ClearyGrosse Pointe North - Football

"The show of sportsmanship ranges fromshaking hands and introducing oneself toextending that hand to a fallen opponent. Itencompasses abiding by the rules even if onecould get away with cheating or bending therules a bit. These aspects of sportsmanshipare vital in educational athletics because theynot only build character, but also develop theattitude of respect and how to show thisrespect to competitors in the fun world ofhigh school athletics."

— Jack McKinnonSt Ignace - Boys Golf

"Every practice and every game, I realizethat my positive attitude and good sportsman-ship possess the ability to affect everyone onthe field. No matter what the situation is, Imake a conscious effort to display the utmostrespect to everyone, from my opposition, tothe fans and the referees. At any givenmoment, someone might be looking to me forleadership, and to see how I react. I amalways representing my school, and mostimportantly, I am representing myself."

"Very few high school athletes will go onto compete in the professional sports arena;most will not even play in college.Therefore, sports must teach something thatapplies to everyday life - this is sportsman-ship, ethics on the playing field . . . I will be

interacting with others long after I can nolonger swim the length of a pool; what I havelearned through swimming about respect iswhat will remain with me for the rest of mylife."

"In today's society, it is often stressedthat winning is the most important aspect ofcompetition. What many fail to realize is thatwinning would be of no value without earn-ing it through fair and friendly competition.Good sportsmanship not only promotes greatcompetition, but it also builds character andessentially defines the true meaning of athlet-ic competitions."

— Priya MalviyaHolland - Girls Tennis

"Sportsmanship teaches athletes to playfair, be good losers and gracious winners.Athletes can use these characteristics in theirinteractions with other people in situations inschool, their job, and all other aspects of life.It is important that the participants as well ascoaches do all that they can to make sports-manship the major focus of educational ath-letics."

—Reed J. Langton Monroe St. Mary’s - Boys Basketball

"In cheerleading, sportsmanship is key tocompeting. It is such a great feeling to hearall the other teams cheering for you whenyou are out on the floor. That is why I lovethe sport of cheerleading so much. It givesyou the opportunity to really show whatsportsmanship is about. The cheerleaders arethe ones who encourage positive behavior atall the sports events and use their role as'leaders' to promote this."

"Although society tends to only view andadmire the talent of athletes, sportsmanshipplays a far more superior role. The existenceof sportsmanship among athletes separatesthose who qualify as role models againstthose who are bad influences on society. Anathlete who demonstrates sportsmanship por-

trays the importance it upholds because itsqualities can be applied to life also."

— Christine VictorGrosse Pointe North - Girls Gymnastics

"Sportsmanship calls on all individuals torise above the chatter and commotion, to playon with the same passion and emotion, but toremain temperate and even-keeled. The trueand intelligent participant removes oneselffrom the altercations and strives to encourageother players to also recognize the problemand retain their composure."

— Christopher WeierWarren DeLaSalle - Ice Hockey

"Good sportsmanship isn't a uniformpulled on for the big game and then throwninto the laundry until the next competition.Instead, it is a part of a person's life and char-acter. Good sportsmen conduct themselvesresponsibly even when the fans aren't watch-ing. How an athlete acts when no one islooking is what makes a good athlete great."

— Kirk AndersonNegaunee - Boys Skiing

"It is the athletes themselves whose atti-tude will determine how they accept the out-come, win or lose. Those athletes who arededicated to sportsmanship can pick up theirheads after a hard-fought defeat, shake thehands of their opponents, congratulate themon a well-deserved victory, and walk awaywith a positive experience. In other words,the true competitor, the true sportsman, isalways just as gracious in defeat as he is invictory."

— Kate QuirkTraverse City Central - Girls Skiing

"High school athletics cannot be separat-ed from academic pursuits. The lessonslearned in athletic arenas can be no lessimportant than the lessons we learn in theclassroom. While honing our technical skillsin math class, our people skills are perfectedon the sports field, pools and courts.Sportsmanship is a critical element inscholastic athletics."

— Jeremy R. BackusWest Bloomfield -

"Displaying good sportsmanship in ath-letic events is extremely important. In everycompetition, someone will win and someonewill lose. Being the victorious one is excit-ing and gratifying, but being part of a losstakes as much or more class to show goodsportsmanship. The real winners are the oneswho are positive in the end no matter the out-come."

— Amy Lyn KingPigeon Laker - Girls Volleyball

"If so much is worthy of regard in a sim-ple athletic event, then it must be necessaryin the rest of life. This is the connection thateducational athletics strives to make. Thefield of play is a training ground for the realworld. Just like in sport, there are the rules,the refs, the team and the opponent. And justlike on the field, all these aspects demand tobe held in high esteem."

— Justin Alan DeLayRoscommon - Wrestling

"If you look at the great teams across allsports, you can see that they all have greatunity and a great respect for each other andfor the game. This is the ultimate goal; youmust play hard, play respectfully, and play asa team. This is what sports ought to beabout. Those who play for their love andpassion for the game with good sportsman-ship make a sport a truly wonderful experi-ence."

— David M. OmennAnn Arbor-Huron - Baseball

"An athlete does not have to perform atthe college or professional level to become arole model: many of today's youth are influ-enced by the people in their everyday lives.As a result, conduct and sportsmanship notonly affect the values of athletes themselves,but also develop the values of their peers out-side of the athletic arena."

— Laura BeauchampDexter - Girls Golf

"Sportsmanship doesn't always relate tosports. Sometimes one has to be a good sportin a work-related environment. One has toaccept others ideas and even compromise tomake them better. It takes teamwork to

accomplish a task well and sportsmanship tomaintain healthy relationships with co-work-ers."

— Amy MyersCadillac - Girls Soccer

"Sportsmanship is a lesson that athletescarry on into their lives. They learn to becompetitive, friendly and respectful at thesame time. I have been fortunate to havemany coaches who have taught me how toplay the games competitively and aggressive-ly while still maintaining that high level ofsportsmanship we all should have. Learninggood sportsmanship early ensures that it willcontinue throughout an athlete's career aswell as in their life beyond sports."

— Amy FlemingGrand Rapids Forest Hills Central -

"Is there more to sports than winning?This is the big question in competitive sportstoday. All athletes are out to win, but somewill cross the line and cheat or play dirty towin. Athletes like this don't care how theywin. What is the joy of winning if a persondoesn't have the personal satisfaction ofbeing a good sport along with the win? I

believe winning is important, but how youwin is even more important."

— Ryan David LitwhilerIthaca - Boys Tennis

"Years ago, concerns about sports cen-tered around safety issues to protect youngathletes. In the new millennium, let's extendthose safety concerns to address a new issue -maintaining good sportsmanlike behavior onand off the playing field. Mandatory classesfor athletes and parents will only serve toreinforce the idea we've been taught all along- that sports themselves are merely the vehi-cle we use to learn the valuable life lessonsgood sportsmanship teaches us."

— Steven I. LockwoodAlpena - Boys Track & Field

"School sports are offered to teenagersfor fun, for competition, and for growth. Dayafter day of practicing can build confidence,maturity, and self-discipline in any athletewith a good attitude. Every drop of sweatmay be complemented by the satisfaction ofimprovement."

BEWARE OF COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT WITH MHSAA LOGO & SOUVENIRS

In an age when it is so much easier toproduce and reproduce artwork, pictures andvideotapes, schools are reminded to exercisecaution in the use of the MHSAA logo, andwith souvenir items sold at MHSAA tourna-ment events.

In the past year, there has been anincrease of incidents involving the unautho-rized reproduction of the MHSAA logo, andin the duplication of souvenir items sold attournaments. Here are a few examples:

• The purchaser of a videotape at anMHSAA final event casually mentions to thesalesperson of his intent to make copies ofthe tape for all the parents of the players onthe team;

• A fan at an MHSAA tournament isspotted wearing a hooded sweatshirt with adesign of the champions shirt printed at theprevious year's finals, including the MHSAAlogo. The problem? There were no hoodedsweatshirts printed with that design by theauthorized vendor;

• A school orders individualized trophiesfor its players after a championship season,bearing the MHSAA logo, and the trophydesign is strikingly similar to that producedby the company which produces trophies forMHSAA tournaments. The problem? Thiswas a different trophy company, unautho-rized to use the MHSAA logo.

·• The executive director of the MHSAAobserves someone attempting to copy, at alocal photocopying shop, a poster providedas a sample to a school from a vendor autho-rized to use the MHSAA logo. The propri-etors of the shop did not allow the customerto make the copy, but the photograph fromthe poster somehow ended up on plaques pro-vided to the team members.

For commercial purposes, there are onlya handful of vendors authorized to reproducethe MHSAA logo. Those vendors provide afinancial return to sites hosting MHSAAtournaments, as well as modest royalties andservices to the MHSAA to assist in its admin-istration of tournaments and services toschools.

It is not fair for one to think that they'renot taking something away from these ven-dors by producing a few unauthorized (andillegal) copies of shirt and trophy designs,and video tapes. We have no knowledge ofhow much this happens, but left unchecked,it could amount to something substantial.

Schools wishing to put the MHSAA logoon items they are producing for awards andpublications (i.e., souvenir programs) areallowed to do so. However, if the items areto be sold, that is another matter whichrequires advance communication with theMHSAA office. The illegal reproduction ofotherwise copyrighted material, like shirtdesigns, videotapes and photographs, fromMHSAA authorized vendors, is somethingwhich those individual companies authorizedto use the logo could sue an individual, abusiness, or a school over.

Schools are urged to be aware of poten-tial copyright infringement in their ownbuildings at all times, but especially when ateam has been successful in tournament play.

Here is a list of what is allowable as itpertains to the use of the MHSAA logo andmerchandise sold at tournaments:

• A school may use the MHSAA logo atany time on souvenir program covers or with-in the program. It can also allow a third partyvendor producing the program to do so.

• A school can use the MHSAA logo onawards its produces for team members. Itcannot, however, use the logo for resale pur-poses of any type to the public.

• An official may reproduce the MHSAAlogo on their officiating calling card, asking athird party vendor to imprint it on the card.A printer, however, cannot offer the imprint-ing of the MHSAA logo as a service.Likewise, a school can ask a vendor to repro-duce the logo on its gymnasium floor orwalls, but the vendor cannot offer the repro-duction of the logo to schools as a service.

• It is illegal to make copies of thevideotapes sold at MHSAA tournamentevents.

• It is illegal to copy the design of tro-

507 May 2001

phies and medals presented at, or t-shirts andposters sold at or after MHSAA tournamentevents.

• It is illegal to copy the photographssold by the MHSAA authorized vendor at orafter MHSAA tournament events.

Here is a list of the commercial vendorsand other companies authorized to use theMHSAA logo for commercial purposes:

• Screen Express(Screen printing,MHSAA tournament merchandise; can useall MHSAA logos - Horizontal, Round,Whistle, Sportsmanship, Women In SportsLeadership, Official MHSAA Merchandise,Scholar-Athlete Award)

• Signs Now(Signs and banners, walland floor graphics; can use all MHSAAlogos)

• Honig's Whistle Stop (Officials mer-chandise; can use MHSAA Horizontal,Round and MHSAA Whistle logos)

• Bay Supply (Coaching box mats,MHSAA Member School Flags; can useMHSAA Horizontal, Round andSportsmanship logos)

• Advanced Video Service(Video tapesof selected MHSAA finals; can use MHSAAHorizontal, Round and Sportsmanship logos,and Official MHSAA Merchandise logo)

• 20-20 Photographic (Photos ofMHSAA events, Ultimate Sports Posters; canuse MHSAA Horizontal and Round logos,and Official MHSAA Merchandise logo)

• Royal Publishing (Souvenir programs;can use MHSAA Horizontal, Round andSportsmanship logos)

• Farm Bureau Insurance (CorporatePartner; can use MHSAA Horizontal andRound logos; Scholar-Athlete Award logo)

• Little Caesars Pizza (CorporatePartner; can use MHSAA Horizontal, Roundand Sportsmanship logos)

• A-1 Trophies & Awards (MHSAAtournament trophies; can use MHSAAHorizontal and Round logos)

• Ball manufacturers: Brine (Soccer),Rawlings (Baseball and Basketball),Spaulding (Volleyball), and Wilson(Softball). All can use MHSAA Horizontaland Round logos.

If you don't see a company on this list,they aren't authorized to use the MHSAAlogo for commercial purposes. If you haveany questions, call the MHSAA office. ■

TENNIS UNIFORM REMINDER

If you are going to order tennis uniforms for your girls tennis team for thefall of 2001, please read the rule in the Tennis Coaches Manual, page 2, No. 4.The rule states that women cannot wear tank tops or racer-back dresses. Thiswas a huge concern last season. The current uniform requirement was dis-cussed by the MHSAA Tennis Committee. The committee was adamant tomaintain the rule. In future seasons, the hope is that school coaches will do abetter job following the rule. To that end, the committee stated that all coachesshould get prior approval from their athletic administrator before placing anorder of school uniforms.

The Good Sports Are Winners! Award is making its return in 2000-01 with the corporateunderwriting of Little Caesars Pizza. The program had previously been offered from 1989 to1996.

Major changes have been made as the program returns. At the district and regional levelof MHSAA tournaments, all schools which meet a set of sportsmanlike standards will receiveawards, which will result in nearly 500 additional schools being recognized annually.Previously, the award was presented to only one school at each tournament center. There havealso been standards introduced into the program which would automatically disqualify aschool from consideration from the award. Any team which is disqualified for the GoodSports Are Winners! Award at the District or Regional level of a tournament becomes ineligi-ble for the award at higher levels of that same tournament.

In all, 332 teams in girls volleyball, 249 teams in boys basketball, 215 in team dualwrestling and 33 in ice hockey will receive either certificates at the district level, or plaques atthe regional level from Little Caesars Pizza during fall competition. A total of 1,240 teamshave now been honored this year, and during the course of the 2000-01 school year, over 1,500awards will be presented, recognizing schools in ten activities for their sportsmanship effortsduring MHSAA tournaments.

Little Caesars Pizza, founded in 1959 by Michael and Marian Ilitch, is an internationalpizza chain with locations on 5 continents. The Ilitch family has been a proud sponsor of ama-teur sports since 1964. The Little Caesars amateur sports program started with the sponsorshipof one hockey team, and today more than 17,000 children participate in Little Caesars spon-sored sports throughout the community.

RANDY ALLEN TO JOIN MHSAA STAFF AS ASSISTANT DIRECTOR THIS SUMMER

Randy Allen, the former communicationsdirector of the Wisconsin InterscholasticAthletic Association, has been named to anassistant director's position with theMichigan High School Athletic Association,effective this summer.

With a single hiring, the MHSAA hastapped the resources of other enterprises andstates to fill an immediate vacancy andaddress future needs for its headquartersoffice staff in East Lansing.

Allen's summer arrival coincides with thedeparture of communications assistant AndyFrushour, who is relocating to Arizona topursue post-graduate studies, and theAssociation's preparation for the year-endretirement of veteran Associate DirectorJerry Cvengros.

Allen comes to the MHSAA after eightyears as communications director for theWisconsin Interscholastic AthleticAssociation, which he left in 2000 to becomea seven-state regional director for iHigh.com,the high school internet arm of HostCommunications based in Lexington,Kentucky.

From 1970 to 1992, prior to joining theWIAA, Allen was involved in virtually everyaspect of radio and television: sportscaster,director and producer; news director; produc-tion, operations and station manager for vari-ous outlets in Wisconsin; and media buyerand general manager for a marketing andcommunications firm with radio and televi-sion clients in Madison.

Allen will expand the breadth and depthof MHSAA service and support in the fastestchanging area of society, schools and sports,which is communications technology; and heis also experienced in the more traditionalroles of state high school associations: com-petition rules and postseason tournaments. Itis anticipated he will work most with the

sports of baseballand softball,wrestling and icehockey. Allen,who had a majorrole in the expan-sion of the foot-ball playoffs inWisconsin, mayalso assist with theMHSAA FootballPlayoffs.

Allen hasbeen a high schoolbaseball and softball official for 25 years,working several Wisconsin high school tour-naments, serving as a rules interpreter for thestate high school association and conductingumpire clinics in Wisconsin.

MHSAA Executive Director John E."Jack" Roberts is impressed with Allen'smastery of technology, his gifts as a commu-nicator, his work ethic and his philosophy ofschool sports. "Randy knows that the workof state high school associations is service,and he is experienced in serving officials,coaches, administrators, media, advertisersand sponsors. He is very personable, anexcellent speaker and writer, and aworkhorse.

"Randy's exuberance for educational ath-letics and his respect for the work of highschool associations cannot be hidden. Hewill be a terrific ambassador for school sportsand the MHSAA."

Allen's arrival will lead to changes inresponsibilities for other MHSAA staff,which will evolve over the next eightmonths.

Allen and his wife Mary, who have acollege-age son, are looking forward to theirrelocation from central Wisconsin to mid-Michigan this summer. ■

Classifications for the upcoming schoolyear are based on a second semester countdate, which was February 21. The enrollmentfigure submitted for athletic classificationpurposes may be different from the countsubmitted for school aid purposes, as it doesnot include students ineligible for athleticcompetition because they reached their 19thbirthday prior to Sept. 1 of the current schoolyear and will not include alternative educa-tion students if none are allowed athletic eli-gibility by the local school district.

After all the counts are submitted, the743 member schools are ranked according toenrollment, and then split as closely intoquarters as possible. For 2001-02, it worksout that 185 schools are in Class A, and 186schools are in Classes B, C and D. There isan increase of two schools in Classes B, Cand D next year.

The enroll-ment limits for Class B are 488 to 1,007;Class C is 243 to 487; and schools withenrollments of 242 and under are Class D.The break increased 16 students betweenClasses A and B; decreased 7 studentsbetween Classes B and C; and there was a 9-student decrease for the break betweenClasses C and D.

Schools were recently notified of theirclassification. MHSAA Executive DirectorJohn E. "Jack" Roberts said that schools maynot appeal their classification if the appeal isto play in a lower class.

However, if revised enrollment figuresindicate that a school should be playing in ahigher class, that school would be moved up.

The new classification breaks will see 22schools move up in class for 2000-01, while14 schools will move down, and one schoolwill have separate classifications for boysand girls competition.

SCHOOLS CHANGING CLASSIFICATION FOR 2001-02

LEGACY PROGRAM NETS 50 OFFICIALS IN 2000-01During the 2000-01 school year, 50 high school seniors participated as MHSAA Legacy offi-

cials.This year's class brings the total to 221 students who have become registered and active offi-

cials during their senior year of high school through the Legacy program.The program was conceived by officials, teachers of officiating classes and staff members of

the MHSAA and first implemented in the year 1992.Basic to the program is the belief that properly and adequately coached from the outset,

young people with an interest in officiating can develop as capable officials so that in the futurethey will be prepared to follow in the footsteps of their adult guide. It is a goal of the programthat student officials learn the correct way to perform as an official.

Each student official (high school senior) must be prepared to dedicate time to study, practiceand learn officiating skills, as well as officiate 7th and 8th-grade contests. Student officials mustunderstand the need for time commitment before they embark on this experience.

The student's guide is a veteran official who will chart the course, help arrange contests andintroduce the student to the practices and procedures of officiating. Assistance with tests andclinic experiences is a part of this responsibility. The teaching guide accompanies the studentofficial to MHSAA rules meetings.

Former athletes remain one of the basic populations from which MHSAA contests officialsare developed. They enjoy athletics, have an understanding of the games and a love of the com-petition. In addition, athletes have an understanding and appreciation of the sportsmanship that isimportant to competition.

Becoming a member of the officiating "team" through the Legacy program allows students toremain connected to the sport which was enjoyed so much as a player. ■

Members Absent:Patrick Low, JonesvilleCallie Sackrider, St. Johns

Staff Member Present: Gina Mazzolini, East Lansing (Recorder)

The 2000-2001 Swimming and DivingCommittee met on March 20, 2001 at theMHSAA office in East Lansing. After a briefwelcome, the committee was reminded of thepurpose of the meeting and the process forproposing rule changes.

Following introductions and a welcome byMHSAA Executive Director Jack Roberts,committee members reviewed minutes of the2000 Swimming and Diving Committee andRepresentative Council action pertaining torecommendations of the committee.

SCRIMMAGE REGULATIONThe committee reviewed a proposal from

the Tennis Coaches Association, which wouldremove the restriction on when scrimmagescan be scheduled (no more than two prior tothe first match). The change would allow ascrimmage anytime throughout the season,including all prior to the first meet. The com-mittee took no action.

THREE-PLAYER REGULATIONThe Swim Committee is supporting a pro-

posal to modify the 3-player regulation. Theproposal would allow a school coach to workwith any number of students from their schoolprogram in a non-school program as long as nomore than 50% of the non-school team aremembers from his/her school program.

DIVING QUALIFICATIONA proposal was presented which would

put more restrictions on qualifying to theRegional Diving competition. After discus-sion, the committee voted for no change in thecurrent process.

A proposal was presented which wouldallow Class BCD divers a third standard forqualifying to the Diving Regionals. The thirdoption would use a three-year average of the

18th place score at the Regional Diving Meet.Then, in a league/conference meet using aminimum of five diving judges, divers wouldadvance to Regionals if they meet or exceedthe established score.

A proposal which would allow RegionalDiving Meets to start at 3 p.m. (instead of 5p.m.) was opposed. The committee recom-mends the following schedule:• Warm-up begins at 3 p.m.• Dive sheets turned in at 3:30 p.m.• Meet starts at 5 p.m. (Board closes at 4:55

p.m.)The committee voted to cut after three

rounds of diving at all Regional sites. (Thecurrent rule allows management to decidewhether to cut after three or five rounds).

DECK PASSESThe committee addressed the concern

expressed by the swim meet management forthe number of alternates and assistant coachesissued passes. The following policy will be inplace for subsequent Swim Finals:• Up to one additional pass will be available

for each relay which a school qualifies.The individual listed must be capable ofswimming the leg of the race in a split,which would meet the qualifying time.

NFHS JEWELRY RULEThe committee addressed the NFHS jew-

elry rule with regard to divers. In the past,divers have been disqualified for wearing a"scrunchie" on their wrist during a dive. Theunanimous decision was to keep the interpreta-tion as written, therefore, anything worn on thebody, which is not functional, is consideredjewelry and is illegal.

AWARDS PRESENTATION SCHEDULE

There was proposal to continue the currentschedule for awards, with a short break afterthe 200 MR (five minute maximum) to give200 Free swimmers a chance to collect them-selves.

MISCA PROPOSALSMembers of the coaches association stated

their continued support of the use of qualifica-tion times. They feel this is the best way toensure all the best swimmers advance to theFinals. They prioritized what they want to seein swimming.• First, maintain qualifying standards.• Second, score 16 places at the Finals.• Third, divide L.P. swim into three equal

divisions and modify the three-player reg-ulation.With that in mind, the following proposals

were acted upon.1. Score 16 places at the Finals.

2. Modify the three-player regulation. (Atleast a waiver process if modification ofthe rule does not occur).

3. Divide Lower Peninsula Swimming andDiving into three equal divisions.

DISCUSSION ITEMS (NO MOTIONS)Add an additional diving event to regular

season meet; five voluntary dives held beforethe meet and six optional dives during eventNo. 5.

Continue the two-day meet, however,restructure to have Prelims and Finals of thesame event on the same day. Swim half of theevents on Friday (Prelim and Finals) and halfthe events on Saturday.
