Texas Girls Coaches Association
Basketball Nomination Instructions and Guidelines

 

Coaches should do their nominations on-line. Official nomination forms can be found on the TGCA website, or coaches may request forms be e-mailed or faxed.

 

November 1 is the last date for basketball coaches to become a member of the TGCA and be eligible to nominate athletes for basketball honors. The head varsity coach of any athlete or support staff receiving an award must be a member in good standing by the membership nomination deadline. This also applies to Athlete of the Year, Coach of the Year, and All-Star Coach honors.

 

Monday noon prior to the State Basketball Tournament is the deadline for on-line nominations for: All-Star; All-State; Academic All-State; Athlete of the Year; All-Star Coaches; and Coach of the Year.

 

All nomination forms must be sent to TGCA by submitting on-line, mailing to the TGCA office at 1603 Manor Road, Austin, TX , 78722 , or presenting to a regional representative for submission to the Committee at the Committee meeting after the on-line nomination deadline has passed..

 

 

 

            ALL-STAR NOMINATION GUIDELINES:

 

            1.  All-Stars must be SENIORS;

            2.  Coaches may nominate as many of their own players as desired;

            3.  Two athletes from the same school can be named to an All-Star team.  Clarification:  
                 The Basketball Committee will have the option of selecting two athletes from one
                 school and one school only, per All-Star team, on a yearly basis;

            4.  All-Stars will be selected in two divisions: 1A-2A-3A and 4A-5A;

            5.  IMPORTANT:  Prior to nomination of an athlete, coaches must confirm that nominee, if selected, can be present for the All-Star orientation and will attend all practices.

                 Players unable to commit to this policy should not be nominated.  The All-Star position

                 is a great honor and players should be aware, prior to nomination, that they are

                 committed to follow policies of the Texas Girls Coaches Association;

            6.  An athlete selected as a basketball All-Star automatically becomes a nominee for

                 Basketball Athlete of the Year.

 

 

            ALL-STATE NOMINATION GUIDELINES:

 

            1.  All-State players are NOT required to be SENIORS;

            2.  Coaches may nominate as many of their own players as they choose.

           

   

            ACADEMIC ALL-STATE GUIDELINES:

 

            1.  Academic All-State athletes and members of the support staff for that sport MUST BE GRADUATING SENIORS;

            2.  Must have an overall GPA of 94 or above for grades 9 - 11. Do NOT submit a nomination if your athlete or support staff member does not meet this GPA requirement. Ten (10) points may be added for weighted classes. Do NOT submit on a point scale basis; i.e. 4.0 or 5.0;

            3.  Must be a varsity participant or a member of the support staff for that sport in good standing; and be of good moral character.
