The REPORTER

More than 100 girls teams and more than 200 boys teams are set to participate in the 2026 IBCA/IHSAA Team Showcase events in June.

The fourth IBCA/IHSAA girls’ Team Showcase is set for June 19-20 at Fishers High School and Hamilton Southeastern High School, while the seventh IBCA/IHSAA boys’ Team Showcase in memory of Charlie Hughes is planned for June 26-28 at Carmel High School, Westfield High School and Westfield Intermediate School.

The Indiana Basketball Coaches Association and the IHSAA partner to make each Team Showcase a “scholastic event” under NCAA and National Federation of State High School Associations rules, thereby making the events open for NCAA Division I coaches to attend in person for purposes of evaluating prospective players. Only events sanctioned by the IHSAA and IBCA may have NCAA Division I coaches attend during this “scholastic recruiting period.”

The IBCA also works with Charlie Hughes Basketball in managing both events. Craig Lyon of Charlie Hughes Basketball coordinates with IBCA chief operating officer Tom Beach in making game schedules, hiring officials, securing game facilities (events may be played in only IHSAA-member facilities) and assists, if needed, in housing arrangements.

As of May 20, 116 girls’ teams and 220 boys’ teams are scheduled to play in these events.

Participating teams generally play four games in the events, although some teams choose for a one-day option where they play just two games. Each contest in these events is a regulation 32-minute stop-clock game, not a running-clock game like in many other summer events. No team plays more than two games in one day.

Teams are assigned a pool based on competitive play (organizers attempt to have teams play multiple competitive games against a “similar” team), regardless of whether a team’s coach selects the one-day or two-day option. Organizers also try to avoid teams playing opponents they typically play during the regular season.

These Team Showcase events are not tournaments, and no champions are determined. However, these Team Showcase events offer four competitive games to help each team develop while also allowing college coaches to watch the games in person.

The two-day girls’ event begins at 9:00 a.m. June 19 with final games starting at 7:40 p.m. June 20. Games are at Fishers High School, 13000 Promise Road, Fishers and Hamilton Southeastern High School, 12499 Olio Road, Fishers.

Local girls teams participating are Carmel, Fishers, Guerin Catholic, Hamilton Heights, Hamilton Southeastern, Noblesville and Westfield.

The three-day boys’ event begins at 9:00 a.m. June 26 with final games starting at 4:00 p.m. June 28. Games are at Carmel High School, 520 E. Main St., Carmel; Westfield High School, 18250 N. Union St., Westfield and Westfield Intermediate School, 17710 Shamrock Blvd., Westfield.

Local boys teams participating are Carmel, Fishers, Guerin Catholic, Hamilton Southeastern, Noblesville, Sheridan, University and Westfield.

Game schedules for both events may be found on the Exposure App, once they are finalized.

Both IBCA/IHSAA Team Showcase events are open to the public. Admission is $10 per day for adults, $5 per day for students (ages 6 to 17) and free for children (5 and younger). IBCA members are admitted free by showing their membership card at the door.

The IBCA and IHSAA began working with Charlie Hughes Basketball in the fall of 2018 when the NCAA created a “scholastic” period in its men’s basketball recruiting calendar for June 2019. Charlie Hughes Basketball had started a summer boys’ basketball school-team developmental event in 2005 and ran it successfully for 14 years. The event was renamed in Hughes’ memory after he passed away in December 2014.

In 2025, 67 coaches from 57 colleges attended the third IBCA/IHSAA Girls’ Team Showcase, while 104 coaches from 79 colleges attended the sixth IBCA/IHSAA Boys’ Team Showcase in memory of Charlie Hughes.

Net proceeds from both Team Showcase events support the IBCA Scholarship Fund and Riley Children’s Hospital in Indianapolis.
