I'm working a spring "Rising Junior/Seniors HS League." Basically, all the local HS have most of their aspiring V Players in the league - can't be coached by the V Coach, running clock, uniform issues, etc. But, my Association uses the league to train us as it is good ball and we have some excellent evaluators - so this is "my camp."
We had a uniform situation the other day that floored me. As I am walking to my position as U1, someone (don't know if it was a fellow official, coach, another player) apparently told B56 that he couldn't wear his shorts because they "had pockets" (uniform rule).
Now, most players just wear their shorts inside out - looks stupid, but, rules, is rules......
So, at the top of the key, B56 proceeds to DROP HIS SHORTS, turn them inside out, put them back on, tuck in his jersey and we are ready to play.
So.....I say to one of the evaluators later in the game - whatcha got? Ya can't take off your
jersey in the visible confines of the court, but shorts?
PS - the guy had some great green and red vertical striped boxers on!
