required to submit a Season Summary Form on-line in the IHSA Schools Center. Failure to do so by the desig-
nated date and time will result in a school forfeiting its opportunity to participate in the seeding process. The

Summary Form by the established deadline shall have one (1) vote in the seeding process. No school shall vote
for their own team. Seeding will occur at the sub-sectional or sectional complex level, depending on each
school’s first level tournament assignment. The highest and lowest seed will be dropped when determining
seeds in 3A and 4A sectional complexes. Neither the super-sectional nor the state final shall be seeded. Once
the seeds have been finalized, the IHSA will post those at ihsa.org. Managers and coaches are prohibited from
releasing the results of their seeding meetings to media.
TERMS AND CONDITIONS: For a full statement of the specific Terms and Conditions under which your school
will be participating, PLEASE READ CAREFULLY the Terms and Conditions printed in this manual.

ratings system. Schools will not rate officials at the seeding meeting.
Sincerely,
Kurt J. Gibson

Each participating official must view and receive credit for the 2021-2022 Basketball rules interpretation video. To receive credit, the
head coach/official must view the presentation in their respective IHSA School/Officials Center. Once the deadline passes, your
school will be placed on probationary status if the online rules meeting presentation isn’t reviewed by your coach. Schools that do
not view the rules interpretation video for two consecutive years, will be placed on suspension for this sport. For probationary status
to be lifted from your school you must:
• Submit a $50.00 penalty fee to the IHSA Office (Acceptable forms of payment are school checks payable to the IHSA or
VISA, MasterCard, or Discover credit cards.)
• Contact Tammy Craig to process credit card payments.
• Upon receipt of payment, the Schools Center will be re-opened for your head coach to view the online presentation.
To view the Rules Video:
1) Go to www.ihsa.org
2) Click on “Schools and Officials Center login”
3) Enter your personal User ID and password
4) Click on “Sport & Activity Tracker” icon. Choose the Winter sports link.

and official without having to view the presentation twice.
Below are options to assist you in viewing the Rules Meeting presentation once you have tried unsuccessfully.
• Try again on a different computer, preferably in a different location (home instead of school, etc.) Sometimes these files
download badly. Going to a different computer/location is the easiest way to get a fresh start.
• Go back to where you clicked on the link to start the presentation and choose the link below to view the LITE version, which
has no video content. Flash video can be an issue for some computers, and the LITE version does not contain flash.

—9—IHSA BASKETBALL RULE ADOPTIONS FOR 2021-22
1. The Mercy Rule (Rule 5-5-3) will be used in all regular season contests, regular season tournament games, and
through the Super-Sectional level in the IHSA State Series contests. A running clock shall be used in the fourth quar-
ter games that have at least a 30-point score differential. Once a game reaches this differential and the clock starts
running, it will continue running and stop only for one of the following:
• A team timeout
• An injury timeout or the removal of a disqualified player.
• The administration of a penalty for a technical foul
• An officials’ timeout
• Correctable error situation
Note: The Mercy Rule will not be used during the Boys’ or Girls’ State Final contests.
2 The IHSA has adopted the use of a 28’ coaches box for all regular and post season contests. Schools
and officials are reminded that the use of the box is NOT a requirement. However, if the box is going to
be used, it must be placed on the floor in accordance with rule 1-13-2. Schools and officials are also
reminded that rule 10-5-4 and 10-6-1 clearly articulate the manner in which coaches can be off the
bench within the confines of the box and the manner in which officials are to penalize the head coach or
other bench personnel who violate the provisions of the coaches box rule.
3. Due to players wearing masks during contests, a media time-out will be taken each quarter at the first dead
ball under the 4-minute mark to give players an opportunity to catch their breath.
Editor’s Note: The National Federation of State High School Associations has approved a state adoption rule
for implementation of a shot clock in high school basketball. States choosing to adopt this rule
can do so beginning with the 2022-23 season, using the model guide created by the NFHS
Basketball Rules Committee. Illinois has yet to take a stance on this rule adoption and plans to
use the current school year to gather feedback on when and how the rule might be implemented
in Illinois. During the 2021-22 season, the IHSA Board of Directors has determined that no
games, tournaments, shootouts, etc. conducted in Illinois will be allowed to experiment with the
shot clock.

The following is intended to provide an explanation of the process that coaches will follow in seeding the first level tourna-
ment assignment for their school.
Coaches are expected to take part in the seeding process with the highest standard of integrity and to ensure fairness and
equity for all participants. The head coach from each school will be allowed to vote. (Coaches should be entering their
games and scores throughout the season in MaxPreps.com.) Coaches can view the season summaries and do their seed-
ing in the Sport & Activity Tracker section of the IHSA Schools Center under the ‘Required Data Forms’ column for boys
basketball.)
Coaches will not be allowed to vote for their own team. Coaches will determine their seeds based on these factors:
• Head to head victories against teams assigned to the first level tournament
• Record against common opponents
• The total win/loss record of schools in the tournament, and
• Team evaluation based on narrative provided by coaches
These factors have not been prioritized. The IHSA reserves the right to review all submitted seeds and throw out ballots
and adjust the seeds accordingly.
In the event that schools tie for a seed, the IHSA will use the following criteria to break the tie:
• Head to head competition between the tied schools (games played prior to the final release of seeds)
• Random draw (if more than 2 schools are tied for a seed)
• Coin flip (if 2 schools are tied for a seed and head to head competition can’t break the tie)
Schools will be able to access all the seeds made by other schools assigned to their seeding meeting prior to the seeds
being posted on-line through the IHSA website. Tournament assignments will then be posted by the end of the week during
which seeding occurs. The time table that follows shows the dates for the 2021-22 school term.
