Yes, I know that High School Boys Basketball is the crown jewell of the KHSAA.... And yes, I know the Boys Sweet 16 is "The Greatest Show in Hoops"
Teams are 9-10 games (2-3 at districts, 3 at regionals and 4 at the Sweet 16) away from winning the state championship. That doesn't sound like a lot, but the football plays offs are 5 weeks long. Thats 5 wins away from a state championship. So in football, an 0-10 team can enter the post-season. win 5 games in a row and win the state championship..... that is wrong. How weak does that make our high school athletic programs look. I can just see the news headline now...... "An 0-10 team in the regular season wins the KY state title" It may sound impossible for that to happen, but with the 6 class system we have now, it isn't outside the relm of possibility.
I guess the point I was trying to make is that 14 teams with 0-3 wins got at least one post-season game.... and like I said in post #1, there are several teams that had 4 and 5 wins that I didn't list.
Players and coaches know no matter how bad they play in the regular season, they will have a post-season game.
What is the drive to want to win district/region games in the regular season if you know your going to get in to the post-season regardless of your record.
And yes, I do realize some schools have very low attendance numbers.... several schools that are listed are class A or AA.
