It can be a symptom of "big timing" and I agree that "big timing" can be a problem, but just wearing the jacket isn't very high on my list.

There used to be a time when you could accidently "grab the wrong jacket" but since they put the big white stripes on it, that excuse is no longer valid.
A partner wearing the jacket wouldn't rank very high on my list though...

And that is why I asked. Because it does happen around here even with the big white stripe more than I would like to admit. I can go to some big time tournaments and see guys wearing these jackets left and right. It is usually a sign that the ego of those are out of whack if they are doing this at the varsity level and some of those will complain they are not getting a shot in the post season. That certainly does not have to be high on anyone's list, but it usually goes back to "professionalism" in which I find very high on my list and often is exposed by little things like wearing this jacket. These are the same guys that will not use a mechanic or will apply a college rule because it is not what they learned a college camp if they wear the jacket on purpose.
