The other coach comes to you and says he is also on a low budget but his school made some fiscal decisions and had a couple of fundraisers so they could buy white and be in compliance. he doesn't think it's fair that you allow the silver jerseys.
Or, you don't allow it and want to penalize it but the coach says "the last crew i had from your association let us play with them".
My only point here is that the rule book is pretty clear and just to ignore it on our part may not be the best thing to do. I think state associations, or at least our local officials associations, are going to have to address this one or we will have problems with how to properly deal with this.

johnnyrao,
I would make a note of it and tell the board of directors of my referee association. Then I'd let my association deal with it through the state. I know it's in the rule book, but it sure seems like an A.D. issue to me.
