Long-sleeve undershirt #21 Auburn

What the big deal? I've seen a state high school (playoff championship) game where every girl on the team wore the shirt you described. Without corrections

At the moment the legality of a long-sleeve undershirt in NFHS play is unclear.

I spoke to the rep on the rules committee from my state about it last week during our state tournament.

However, there is no such ambiguity at the NCAA level. The rule is very specific.

I know a couple players on Oklahoma wear the same kind of shirt

Does it ever occur to anyone that maybe there are some players that are given a waiver for this kind of shirt? There have been times in the past where certain rules have been used by conferences to allow certain situations to take place. I have no idea, but I remember Candice Parker during the tournament last year wearing the same long sleeve undershirt and this was in the Final Four. Someone likely does not care for this rule or is giving exceptions to the rule.

Or people are choosing to simply ignore it. 😮

Didn't Candace Parker worn the Long Sleeve shirt and she had something wrong with her shoulder or something

Yes she did. And I am wondering if that is the reason or similar reason why this player or players are wearing long sleeves. After all, conferences control a lot of regulations as to how things are done in their games. Wearing an undershirt is not a pressing game issue and does not affect the outcome of any game. Personally I do not get upset about these kinds of things. There is always more to a story than what some want to think there is.

I believe as long as the sleeves are the same length in NFHS, you can wear long sleeved undershirts and as long as they meet the other guidelines.

I disagree that it's unclear. The way I read it, it's clearly legal in NFHS. The rule only stipulates the sleeves be the same length.

Yep. I actually looked this up during warm-ups at a game this season.

Or people sitting on their butts watching the game on TV have no clue whether an exception was granted for medical, religious, or other reasons. Said people simply want to jump to the conclusion that the officials are somehow messing up and lack some kind of character trait that said people seem to think they have an abundance of.

Go figure.:cool:

I thought the high school rule was crystal clear.

That's not important. These rampant sleeves need to be dealt with.

Even if the officials did ignore the rule, who cares? If I recall it did not change the outcome or give a team a decided advantage. The only one that should care is the people that hired these officials or the NCAA Coordinator. And we have no idea if they care.

Saw long sleeves again tonight in the MU/OU game. What's up with that?
