I find most to be over weight and can't get down the court. Give it up! As for the belt, to me you are wearing a uniform, like a suit if your paints calls for a belt, wear it. Like a police officer, or a army officer in his DRESS uniform, they have belts. Besides a ref should not be noticed on the court, only the players. Often I see to much "grandstanding" by those with as much shine on there shoes as they have on there hair!

First I have to set the record straight... It depends on what uniform you wear if it has a belt or not... I am an Army Officer and my Dress Uniform (The Blue One) does not have a belt. The ugly green one does.... You can tell I like wearing that uniform cant you?
Second I vote belt less. It is the dress uniform of officiating. When in Rome and all that stuff... I have never seen a referee who has moved to the better ranks doing by wearing a belt.. There is too much deviation in belts... Belt buckles attract attention. Hey if I ref rec ball I have a pair that I wear my black belt from my BDU's it is a great belt and low profile. I use that pair of pants as my backup...
Just ask Drake about my pants splitting mid-game-
