What is Illinois Blue Devils philosophy on playing time

The Illinois Blue Devil Basketball Program is a competitive basketball program that wants the hardest working players in Illinois. The first 75% of all games will be equal playing time. The remaining 25% of the game will be at the coaches discretion. Players must attend practice consistently​ in order to learn the offense, defense, and plays for this rule to apply.

What types of tournaments do the Illinois Blue Devils play in?

One day tournaments.​

Why do we play in one day tournaments?

A one day tournament allows teams to play all 3 of their games in a single day allowing the rest of the weekend for other activities. The tournament directors schedule games conveniently so that participants spend only a few hours at the tournament site.
​
An example of game times are 9am-11am-1pm.
