Seems you should change your screen name to Mr Big Time, eh rook?

OK...so I was Big Timming a little. But, Dan, tell me you haven't "Big Timed" here a time or two yourself.
I used RookieDude as a screen name starting out in Feb of 2001...I thought it would be fun to ask "rookie" questions to generate discussions and the like. My time on this forum has evolved, for lack of a better word, to having to express my "veteran" point of view...on some issues.
I really don't care if you think I am a rook or not(which I am not)...I'm just here to learn a little, spout off a little, and *gasp* maybe even have a little fun while doing it.
BTW, I by no means think that I am anywhere near as good as many of the "regulars" here, as far as articulating basketball situations, rules and philosophy...but, please don't feel threatened, Dan, if others on this forum actually have big games once in awhile too. Some of us might not be able to recite the rule book word for word...but we can run the floor with the best of em'. (BTW, I've heard guys with the name of Dan have BIG EGOS....maybe because my name is Dan also)

Ok...since you asked, here are some of my philosophys...remember, it's just MINE! If some of you don't agree, fine...call your game how YOU see fit.
wrong-colored t-shirts
I usually have them take it off for my Varsity games...Middle School, yeah but, more leeway for jerseys...heck, if they have a shirt with a number on it I let them play.
uneven sleeves
No
Thunder sticks?
Probably...if someone brought it to my attention. This is more of a game management issue IMO. If a team complained about the sticks...then I could get game management to handle it. Again, I don't get to worked up about this kind of stuff.
Players sitting during a 30-second TO?
I would ask them to stay on the floor for this TO...wouldn't T them, just ask them to do it correctly next time. Haven't had this problem for Varsity games...sorry Dan, don't get upset, but I only do Varsity games and a few Middle School games at the start of the year to get warmed up. That's just the way we do it in our Association.
Rosters in by the 10-minute mark?
You're kidding, right?
Rubber bands on the ankles
Sure, and the wrists also...we have the player take the "jewlery" off when we notice it...this is a saftey issue...but no T.
Maybe I'm feeling my oats today...but, I just can't resist this one rainmaker:
