All coaches are more than happy to meet with parents to discuss your child. Coaches will not discuss playing time or other basketball players. Parents should encourage players to talk with coaches prior to parent meetings if your athlete has concerns about anything. We are here for the athlete and available to help the athlete problem solve any concerns they might have from basketball to school. Parent meetings will be scheduled and will not occur after games. Athletes are encouraged to attend meetings with their parents. Before scheduling a meeting please attempt the following line of communication:

Parent Expectations
EDUCATIONAL ATHLETICS Philosophy
BETTER ATHLETES, BETTER PEOPLE `
Make no remarks to the referees or to the players, coaches or spectators of the opposing team
Avoid remarks directed to players on your own team who make mistakes on the field. Applaud superior play by both teams.
Support coaches regardless of the results on the court/field.
Always remain in the spectator area
Never use foul language or obscene gestures at a game.
Avoid persistent comments and gestures that express disagreement with referees’ decisions.
Cooperate immediately with any request by the game officials.
If a parent is ejected from a contest by an official or coach, the parent will be required to have a face to face conference with the Athletic Director prior to returning to any PISD Athletic event. In addition, the parent must complete the NFHS course “Positive Sport Parenting” and turn in their certificate of completion before returning to any PISD athletic event. If multiple incidents occur or a single severe incident occurs, the parent(s) will no longer be allowed into PISD events, and possible criminal trespassing charges can be issued to the spectator for an appropriate time period determined by the administrators.

9. UIL Eligibility Calendar - Reynolds Athletic homepage
Grades-Eligibility
Basketball is an UIL sport and is part of the no pass no play guidelines.
UIL Eligibility Calendar - Reynolds Athletic homepage
Academics are a priority and it is the responsibility of the athlete to make sure that ALL grades are passing in ALL classes. If an athlete is failing when the district wide grade check occurs, they become ineligible for approximately 3 weeks. During the period of ineligibility, athletes are permitted to practice, however, they are not permitted to participate in games or travel on the bus. At the end of the period of ineligibility (usually 3 weeks), students must be passing ALL classes. Please check skyward often and follow-up with the teacher if any work is missing.
