Tights, Long Pants ...

SITUATION 7: A player, for religious reasons, may not wear shorts. Would he/she be able to wear tights under the basketball uniform shorts or warmups instead of shorts? RULING: NFHS basketball uniform rules do not require that the uniform pants be “shorts.” Wearing tights below the uniform shorts would be legal. The player has the option of wearing long pants as the uniform “bottom” to be in compliance with NFHS rules as well. (3-4-5, 3-5-3)

Long pants can be any color. Correct?

Tights worn below the uniform shorts must be the solid color black, white, beige, or the predominant color of the jersey. Correct?

I'm surprised the NFHS didn't make this distinction in the interpretation.

A lost teachable moment.

Must be a paper shortage at the NFHS.

Maybe they're running out of ink in their printers.
