What's everyones thoughts on playing district opponents this early in the basketball season?

I honestly don't like it, because I'd like for my team to be playing at there best when they play against district opponents. Plus it may hurt a teams chances at going to a region tournament by playing someone in district that they may be overmatched with.

I'm like you BA, I don't like district games early, but coaches don't have much of a choice. You have to get the first wave of district games in because of the threat of bad weather in January. Also, you have every team in the state hosting some kind of holiday tournament overkill the week of/after Christmas. Then there's the All-A tournaments, which take up the last two weeks of January if you include a trip to Richmond.

Besides, in the 15th it doesn't matter this season because 10 of 16 teams will reach the regional. It's watered down.
