And if you want to be seen as blatantly ignoring a rule, then do not enforce it. I hate this as much as anyone, but I have too much to lose to care what the schools think. The schools ultimately should have known when they got those jerseys what was legal or not and should be put ultimately responsibility. If they choose to do that, they would not be in that situation. And I am not sacrificing my accomplishments for a school who cannot read the rulebook or review the rules. And I really have no sympathy in this state where for the last 3 years or so this has been a big deal. It is like knowing you are driving in a place that will ticket you for 2 miles over the speed limit and going around and going 10 miles over and then complaining you had to pay the fine.

You're absolutely right. But I commend the other school for violating twice on the free throws, especially when they ended up losing by 2 points.
I doubt the school has the funds to run out and get new uniforms the remainder of this season, so it seems like they're going to be stuck with this for every "home" game the rest of the season.
Last night I had to deal with colors of prewrap in the hair. Mostly a light blue (to match the road jersey), but two with black and one with beige. A quick chat with the head coach during warmups got this fixed without anyone else knowing about the conversation (and she said she was well aware of the rule, so why are the girls not dressed properly?) and life went on. But it's a pain in the a$$ having to be the fashion police for every girls game I work.
