Y2CJ41 Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 Just thought I would bring this up as I have been notified that the IHSAA will not allow anyone to do video of the team state this year until they have their people do the finals. There will be no video of the first two rounds of action including the highly anticipated match between Mater Dei and Crown Point in the first round. The IHSAA will allow for audio broadcast, but that is it. If you cannot make it to team state, this would be a great time to email the IHSAA and tell them that this is not right and they need to step up to the plate and allow someone to broadcast video of the first two rounds. Many people complained of the quality of the feed from individual state and I fear that this will be the same as last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or is it simply the reason that they are the IHSAA and do whatever the hell they want? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nearfall_3 Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 Wasn't their video Of Indiana Team State by some video broadcast network last year. I believe there was video of all three rounds last yr, but not this year, why? Why would the ISHAA allow video last year but not this year? I do remember watching the first round last year...

thecomets Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 From IHSAA website. Please note that due to the volume of e-mail messages that we receive on a daily basis, our first priority is to respond to our member schools and registered officials, so we may not be able to respond to every message in a timely manner. The IHSAA will not respond to e-mail messages that do not include the sender?s full name, affiliation, mailing address and telephone number.

ttljml Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Nothing surprises me anymore especially where the IHSAA is concerned and Bobby Cox, was he voted as Commissioner or whatever he calls himself. What is the difference between the last four weeks in which people were able to broadcast the matches and this coming Saturday? Someone please tell me why he would not allow this, because everybody knows that he is personally responsible for this nonsense. It is not like the IHSAA would lose any dollars over this.

wildcatcountry97 Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 I will Skype it to an address to be posted 20 minutes before the start if enough people are interested. *Curiously - by the same token - what is the official rule - does it actually say recording the match ? Because Skype isn't recording anything; simply transmitting. Of course if it mentions broadcasting my dastardly plan will be thwarted. Ehh, I'll still do it if enough people are interested.

broadcastsport Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 The Video of even the Finals will not be available live on IHSAATV.org, they are doing swimming. There will not be any live video of any wrestling this week, only tape delayed on TV sometime in March. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maligned Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 I received this from the IHSAA in response to my message asking that the early rounds be permitted to be broadcast (it seems my inquiry was misunderstood as a request for the IHSAA to broadcast them). The final WILL be broadcast live, but on the site below. At any rate, here's the message: "Thank you for your inquiry regarding the 2011 IHSAA Team Wrestling State Finals. While one of our goals in the future is to provide additional coverage of each round of the finals, at this present time it is not possible. It would be very difficult for each match to be covered equally given the venue, space, personnel and technology assets needed to cover (4) dual meets simultaneously and still meet our broadcast quality standards. I appreciate your passion and love of the sport and agree that some of the early matchups would make great broadcasts. The IHSAA Champions Television Network broadcasts a variety of team and individual IHSAA championship events for both television and web streaming. Since the inception of the team wrestling state finals, the preliminary rounds have not been televised or video web streamed by the IHSAA. The championship event will be broadcasted as we have always done. In the past, we have occasionally had interested media outlets from across the state who have streamed live audio on the internet or broadcasted on the radio some of the preliminary rounds of the team wrestling state finals, but they have never been video web streamed in their entirety. As has always been the case, the team wrestling state championship match will be video streamed live. In addition, for the first time we will also air a tape-delayed broadcast on the IHSAA Champions Television Network. Derek Shultz and Mike Goebel will bring you all the action. Our intent is not do less coverage but rather more coverage and exposure for wrestling along with the other 19 championship events at the IHSAA. Due to the fact that the IHSAA will also be streaming the boys swimming state finals at the same time, the team wrestling state championship match will be video streamed live at www.hometownsportsindiana.com while boys swimming will broadcasted on www.ihsaatv.org . Thank you for your years of service as an IHSAA official and I hope you are able to watch our broadcast of the finals. Please let me know if I can be of any further assistance. Thank you. Chris Kaufman Director of Communications Indiana High School Athletic Assn., Inc." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XCard Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 If you ask me this is kinda of a double edge sword for us. We are complaining about this at the same time that the IHSAA says attendance is down. Seems to me like we are making a good case for them. Maybe they feel without it being broadcasted this will boost attendance, which from a business point of view is not a bad idea. This in turn can be a blessing in disguise for us seing that is the issue apperantly. To be perfectly honest, I think this is a moot point because it seems as if the IHSAA has already made their mind up. I do not think one year of us bolstering the attendance is going to get the job done. Good Luck to all participating Schools this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fire77 Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 I hope the IHSAA has not already made up their mind to stop Team State. I made a suggestion to class team state tourney. Hold one of the three classes at different locations like ! North, 2 Central, 3 South and then rotate each year. This would increse attendance as many people that love wrestling would go to the closer State finals as apposed to making a 3- 4 hour trip.

TOTALFOCUS Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 Wonderful. I just ran out to wal-mart after working from 6pm last night to 8 this morning to buy hdmi cable so we could watch on tv from our laptop. I have been to all but 3 Team State Finals, and will attend in the future. There is nothing like watching Bellmont Wrestling and listening to my young golf coach A.J.

While I am disappointed I will not be able to see it (I think the 22 hour round trip would be a bit excessive), I think if those devoted to our beloved sport want to see these great matchups they need to head to Center Grove and support it. This is going to be one helluva good day of wrestling, and everyone within 3 hours drive would do well to head to the gym! Sadly, if it were broadcast, I think it would effect attendance.

IMO As someone who grew up in the southernmost corner of the state, I can't say that you would want to be on the receiving end of wrath you would face were you to move Mater Dei's team state (whatever class that would be) further north than Indianapolis. Unlike those of you in the north who can get to indy fairly easily, we have no north-south interstate access. So going from the west side of Evansville to Greenwood is already over 3 hours. Move it to Fort Wayne or Lafayette, and I don't think you would want your address getting out. That's a lot of fans, and a lot of anger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gstemv81 Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 I wouldn't want to see Team State move around like a traveling road show. It's been at Center Grove for 15 years now. A tradition is in place if we can keep it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
