MANY GAMES CAN A REDSHIRT PLAYER IN BASKETBALL?
A redshirt player in basketball is someone who has not yet made their debut with the team. This means that they are allowed to play in limited games, but will not be counted as one of the players on the roster.They can also sit out games if needed, and will have a chance to make an impact when they do debut.
NCAA Rule Allows for One Redshirt GameUnder NCAA rules, a student-athlete who is redshirting can play in up to four total games during the season.
A10 wants to allow redshirt players to serve as emergency fill-ins up to four games so that they have the opportunity to experience game action and improve their skills.Player must appear in game before being eligible for redshirt status
A player must appear in a game before he or she can be considered for redshirt status.
This means that if you are injured and cannot participate in any of the team’s games, you are not eligible for a redshirt year even if you would like one.Student-Athletes Must Meet Minimum Academic Requirements and Play Within Guidelines of Athletic Code
To qualify for a redshirt year, students must meet all academic requirements and follow the guidelines set forth by their athletic department regarding playing time, practice schedule, etcetera.
Failure to do so may result in disciplinary action from both your school and athletics governing body such as suspension or dismissal from sports altogether.
NOTE: WOULD YOU THINK ANY OF THIS STATEMENT IS CONFUSING: 1.A RESHIRT IS ALLOWED TO PLAY IN 'limited games' (so how many is limited). Next a redshirt player is allowed to serve as emergency fill-ins up to FOUR GAMES.....A PLAYER MUST APPEAR IN A GAME BEFORE HE OR SHE CAN BE CONSIDERED A RED SHIRT (NOTE: IF NOT THEN PROOBABLY A MEDICAL..? IF YOU DON'T PARTICIPATE IN A GAME YOU CANNOT RED SHIRT (MEDICAL)....
SO, HOW ARE 'LIMITED GAMES' DETERMINED...........YIKES....
NOW IS THE TIME TO CALL ON K.L. FOR HIS REVIEW, EXPERTIECE AND ANALYIZATION OF THE ABOVE.
