We're asking the coaches if the players are properly equipped not because of "liability" reasons (I'm an attorney so I can address this) but because otherwise we'd have to do the alternative of CHECKING each player's equipment. Asking puts the onus on the coach so that if there is a challenge on equipment or uniforming during the game the coach is on the hook.
I had long ago grown tired of checking soccer player's shoes and shin guards and wish we had that asking rule in FED soccer when I was doing it.
