National and SEAAU TN Boys’ Basketball Game Rules *These are partial excerpts of the SEAAU District and National Rules*

Crowd Control The club, the team, and its coaches are responsible for the conduct of their own fans and players at every

AAU contest, regardless of where it may be held. Failure to control its fans may result in suspension of

the club, coaches, and/ or one or all of its teams from future AAU Boys’ Basketball Tournaments.

Ejections/Technical Fouls The Boys' Basketball Committee has approved enforcement of the TSSAA rules on ejection for fighting

and/or unsportsmanlike conduct (taunting, disrespect to officials or fans, etc.).

If a player is ejected for fighting or receives two technical fouls for unsportsmanlike conduct, the player

is suspended for the team's next two games in any TN SEAAU Sub-State or State Tournament. Any

coach who is ejected from a game sanctioned by SEAAU TN Boys' Basketball for receiving two direct

technical fouls will automatically be suspended from coaching his or her team's next game and the coach

will be banned from the gymnasium.

Uniform Dress Code Jerseys must conform to high school federation rules, with numbers on both front (2" minimum) and back

(4" minimum) of the jersey, with the exception that numbers can be 00-99. It is recommended that each

team have one or two extra jerseys on hand because of the "blood rule". Each team must have a set of

WHITE AND DARK JERSEYS! The AAU National Boys' Basketball jersey rule shall apply to any

team that does not comply.

Protest Any protest lodged with SEAAU TN Boys' Basketball must be filed in writing with a $200 cash fee that

will be refunded if the protest is upheld. If the protest is rejected or abandoned, the $200 will be

forfeited.

banned from participation for one year and the club shall lose all seed points in all grade divisions for the

next year.

Intentional Forfeit Any coach who intentionally forfeits (i.e. takes his team off the floor during the game and refuses to

complete the game), or who fails to participate in area district tournaments or district finals will be

banned from participating in SEAAU TN Boys' Basketball for one year. The club will also lose all seed
