The president of the organization said their liability insurance required a section on sexual assault or abuse but it was updated in the new waiver form.
The Alaska Association of Basketball Coaches updated a waiver form for its annual senior all-star games after an online backlash over language that required athletes to waive all rights and claims in potential cases of sexual assault or abuse.
Porter said that in the more than a decade since the all-star series has been held, they haven’t had any incidents of any kind. Sexual misconduct, as defined below, will not be tolerated, encouraged, or instigated by the staff or faculty of AABC. Any known, rumored, reported, or witnessed incidents of sexual misconduct will be investigated by the Directors and reported to proper legal authorities. Parents or legal guardians will also be immediately notified.”
