Do the basketball playoffs need fixing? Multiple top 10 teams in Class 6A were eliminated in round one because of ranked match-ups early. Could seeding fix things?

Biggest news with this is Douglas moving out of the region of doom and into 5A region 8.

Scottsboro announced that the AHSAA has reclassified the high school from 5A to 4A:

@stacymc1256 No, that's why we kept north/south separate. Mobile will go to Montgomery like normal. Rankings like I used are all mathematical (wins, losses, strength of schedule, off/def efficiency, etc.). Whatever metrics you use - it's simple data that can be calculated overnight.

@ALPreps Area Tournaments finished on Wednesday. They played on Saturday who or what would make the seeding with such a quick turnaround? Would the seeding put a Mobile school go to the Northeast or Northwest Regional?

@RonaldHaygood In the post I just seeded the area qualifiers (so top 2 per area) and still split north/south. You could do it a number of ways.

@ALPreps How would the seeding scenario look? Suggestions?

Is 24 teams in the 6A playoff really solving anything? If you're a coach in that classification - why wouldn't you vote for it?
Some thoughts: alpreps.substack.com/p/24-teams-in-…
English
The AHSAA is looking to expand the 6A playoffs moving forward from 16 to 24 teams. Coaches supposedly unanimously accepted it. It's with the idea that it will "create more competitive match-ups in later rounds."
First do you agree that it will do that and should the 5th and 6th seeds from each region make the playoffs?

Sounds like things will stay as is, except a few small changes. I assume that means potentially areas in football. We still have to see the postseason structures as well.

Here's more from our conversation with Castanza after the AHSAA private school meeting today. He said the meeting was "beyond standing room only with a dozen members on a zoom call as well." "I think there may be some adjustments. We're going to force some efforts to try and advocate for some of the challenges that were presented with the reclassification but we want to stay together." "From this point forward, I think conversations have to be had with the AHSAA and at no point have they made us feel like we don't have an opportunity to come to the table, so we're going to take them up on that opportunity.."

What does everyone think of Alabama allowing high school NIL? We are currently one of the only states where it's not allowed.
Daniel S. Greene, Esq.@DanGreene15
For the 3rd year in a row, Rep. Jeremy Gray has introduced a bill that would permit high school athletes in Alabama to monetize their #NIL. This bill has not gained much traction in previous cycles, but maybe this year will be different or at least put some pressure on the AHSAA.

I dove into the TSSAA private school classification model and ran the formula for both privates and 6A next year - the results showed some interesting changes. Is it worth exploring for Alabama?
