yep!
>NFHS rule 2-4-5: "Prior to each contest, the head coach >shall verify that his/her team member's uniforms and >equipment are legal and will be worn properly, and that >the participants will exhibit proper sporting behavior >throughout the contest".
Yep, it is a "rule", but until 2-4-5 obsolves me of any responsibility concerning injury because said coach lied to me before the game, I will administer the rule accordingly.
It is also interesting that the rule exists yet in Mass, I never saw it administered over the last 4 years. Again, state associations differ, and from what I remember, it was not part of the pregame requirements. Now, we did have to read a code of conduct statement that came down from our state association, but we never asked the coach if his players were properly equipped.
