"@type" : "WebSite",
"name" : "Exposure Basketball",
"alternateName" : "Exposure Basketball Events",
"url" : "http://basketball.exposureevents.com",
"potentialAction": {
"@type": "SearchAction",

Yes, I can verify that your structured data for the Site Name is correctly formatted.
You can verify this for yourself by using Google's Structured Data Testing Tool here:
However, one thing that may be causing an issue is your Organization name does not match your WebSite name:
Consider updating your schema to the following:
<script type="application/ld+json">
"@context" : "http://schema.org",
"@type" : "WebSite",
"name" : "Exposure Basketball Events",
"alternateName" : "Exposure Basketball",
"url" : "http://basketball.exposureevents.com",
"potentialAction": {
"@type": "SearchAction",
"target": "http://basketball.exposureevents.com/youth-basketball-events?searchtoken={search_term_string}",
"query-input": "name=search_term_string"
}
</script>
and update the NAP in the footer to match:
<div itemscope="itemscope" itemtype="http://schema.org/Organization" class="span3 clearfix" data-bind="with: site.subscription">
<h3>Contact Us</h3>
<p>
<div>
</div>
<div>

<div itemprop="address" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/PostalAddress">
<div itemprop="streetAddress">1877 Douglass Blvd</div>
