There are however several that think Todd Stordahl, WOA Commissioner, needs to be removed/resign due to this incident.

Which means nothing.

BTW, nice edit after I first posted they were not penalized.

That was just off the comments from the articles about the incident, basically layfolk that know little about the inner workings.

Have you verified with your local association(s) that the pink whistles have been authorized by your state association?

I do what my Association tells me. When I get the email that this is pink whistle week, I'll use it. That is, if all my P's have theirs (which they didn't last yr.) 😮

I was joking with the C-Squad coach that a pink ball should be used as game ball.

We are authorized to use pink whistles this week - as long as all officials have them for the game. I have games three nights this week - will see if I actually get to use it. Many of our officials refuse to use one for some reason.

We didn't get them in our assn. Mine was white with the pink ribbon in VT. Mom has her first chemo treatment on Tuesday. She has had two battles already. My mother-in-law had a 26 year battle in 5 episodes. Sadly, she lost her last bout in Nov. 2009. I hope that next year, we'll be doing it. FHSAA sets aside a week in every sports season for it.

That ball would work as it'll keep the money here in Washington State since Baden is HQ'd out of Federal Way.

Probably because they'd have to spend $6 to get one. Some officials act as though they don't get paid for working games.

And their prayer offered in faith will heal the sick, and the Lord will make them well. The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and wonderful results.

Thanks to the local weekly newspaper, got a preview of the pink uniforms that are going to be worn tomorrow night.

How should an official call fouls/violations on this?

Ask your state how they want this handled. If they want the rule enforced, then one technical will be charged to the head coach for allowing his players to play with an illegal uniform. He will lose his coaching box privileges.

On the other hand, if the state allows an exception for this (which I hope they would), then play on.

The state is allowing the use of Pink uniforms, what I mean is color wise would you say white or pink when calling fouls/violations?

Depends on the uniform color of the opponents. If the opponents are Red (or a variation of red) I would go White, if opponent's uniforms are any other color and I would probably go Red.

The opposing team will be in black.

All I know is that it'll be only the girls varsity in the Pink Uniforms right now.

Why not say pink? It is not hard to pronounce, it is not mulit-syllable. 😕

I have never understood why we can not use the real color of the jersey. Schools are proud of their school colors. Are there really any of us referees so tongue tied that we can not say orange or yellow or pink? 🙄

We usually say the correct color- as long as it's not burnt umber or something.
