That's my issue with topics like this. Many times, associations, states, or conferences do things differently. Why? Who knows. Maybe just to peeve us. But it causes lots of confusion in all aspects of the game.

In my previous profession, it was all about consistency. Consistency from one store to the other, no matter what state we were in. Same thing should hold true for officiating. What so-and-so does in Washington should be the same thing that whats-his-nuts does in Florida. Granted, there are states that choose to go with NCAA. That's cool. Do whatever you want, as long as you are following what the NCAA and CCA prescribes.

The last thing I will say before I get off the soapbox. If shorts are allowed, at least wear black with shorter socks. The white with the long socks looks funny. As if we didn't look funny enough already!
