Alumni FAQ

HCASC Player Alumni now number 75,000+! That's a pretty big universe of people with common interests and it offers a unique opportunity to network. There is no formal HCASC Alumni Association, but all known former players are automatically entered into our virtual alumni association -- a series of special pages on the HCASC.com website.

You can search the existing HCASC Player Alumni Database by location and by school. Use the Player Alumni menu above. While you're there, please be sure to update your listing!

Click the Update Your Information link on the Player Alumni menu above. You'll be able to update your contact information, years played, current occupation, etc.

We do not sell or distribute this information. It is only used in keeping in contact with you and in publishing the online Player Alumni Database. If you do not wish your contact information to be listed in the database at all, please email Tisha Lynton Rose.

There are lots of ways to stay involved:

1. Make sure that we have your current contact information. If we have your current email address, you will receive copies of the official HCASC newsletter, The Buzz, as well as the HCASC Alumni Newswire.

2. If you live nearby an HBCU, make contact with the campus coordinator and coach. You'll find their contact information in the Program Calendar menu -- List of Calendar Contacts. You can help out with the Campus Tournament and help to prepare or drill the Varsity Squad and NCT Team.

3. "Like" the HCASC Facebook page and make posts! As a former player, you have insight that today's players can benefit from.

4. Serve as a game official at a nearby Pre-NCT Tournament. Check out those tournaments on the menu above.

5. Write a story, article or reminiscence about your HCASC days for The Buzz. Submit it to Tisha Lynton Rose.

We established the Player Alumni Hall of Fame to acknowledge former HCASC players who have succeeded in their chosen career and life paths and to facilitate their becoming mentors for the current generation of HCASC players.

In 2004, the first five player alumni were inducted. Hall of Fame honorees represent the excellence that comes from studying hard, networking, applying oneself and most of all, from pursuing a life goal with all their intellect, heart and soul. In succeeding years, one or more player alumni may be inducted. There have been 18 players inducted to date. The selection of Hall of Fame members is based on post-HCASC achievements in career, life and through community involvement.

You may suggest a player alumni by submitting the nomination form.

To be eligible for consideration, you must:

• Wait three years after your last year as an NCT player.

• Have mastered a game official position (moderator, judge, scorekeeper or reset/time/announcer).

• Serve as a game official at an HCASC campus tournament or Pre-NCT Tournament.
