I still hold a special place in my heart for loud and idiotic student sections.

Back when I was in high school (Class of 1971) our student section's favorite idiotic chant to the offcials was, "The ref brought his lunch. The ref brought his lunch. Eat it ref. Eat it".

There's also always: Nuts and bolts! Nuts and bolts! WE!! GOT!! SCREWED!!!!"

There is always the oldie but goodie from the student section, "Elevator, elevator, we got the shaft!"

Seriously, if this really happened and you gave a tech for that, that is awful.

While I'm not crazy about the rule, the official administrated it correctly. It would have been better if he had told the coach that the player had to leave the gym to change. But the rule is the rule, and once the kid takes off the jersey. . .

Don't tell him to take it off. Just tell him that the can't play with it on.

10-3-H: A player shall not: Removing the jersey and/or pants/skirt within the visual confines of the playing area.

I'm not crazy about the rule either. I believe that the intent, and purpose, of this rule was to define a penalty for the player that removes his jersey in disgust, typically after fouling out, rather than penalizing a player for adjusting his uniform, and equipment, so that he can legally enter the game.

Scrapper1: When you note an illegal undershirt when a player is in the pregame layup line, do you always "remind" the player to leave the gym to remove the illegal equipment?

I've always been fond of "We got a rope, we got a tree, all we need is a referee."

And I guarantee someone here will find this unfunny or offensive.

Impossible. Student sections are never, ever, offensive. They are always models of decorum. I'd let my eighty-five year old mother sit in the middle of the student section.

Last night, boys HS rec. Kid goes up for a layup and is ever so slightly touched by the defender. Coach yells for a foul. Of course, it's a no call. Coach yells at me, "Why isn't that a foul?" I reply, "it's the BISS rule, coach". He says "what's that?" I reply, "BISS? Because I Say So". He gets a puzzled look on his face and just sits down.

7th grade boys last night. H winning by about 25 or so. H1 gets a defensive rebound, and V1 bumps him ever so slightly in the back while trying to reach over a taller and stronger H1.

Absolutely zero affect on the play, and I hear "over the back" from H coach. I almost sat him down for vocal diarrhea.

I'll say it before he does; because we all know it's going to:
Just send him your debit card and pin number for permission....

They have to do that. It's in the coaches handbook.

Exactly!!

The situation described above was NEVER something that was trying to be "addressed" by this rule. The problem we have is twofold: rules that are not written clearly and officials that lack any common sense.

Adam

My common sense tells me to ignore this, but we've been told specifically to call it if we fail to prevent it (similar, in that regard, to the 6 player T).

Oh ... My ... God ... Three correct posts in two days. I only wish that my Dad was alive to see this. Too bad that I'm on my way to work a prep school game, or I would hang around to go for the record. "Tough tarts" to all you guys that have put me on your ignore list. To you guys, I say, "Na Na Na Na Na". Wait? You can't see this. Never mind.

I think you're going to find that a lot of people don't think that me agreeing with you equals "correct" 🙂

MS 8th grade girls game; I call a foul on the follow through of an attempted shot block. Picture the defender's arms coming down on the shooter and then springing back to a vertical position.

Coach pulls her out of the game and the player says to the coach my arms were straight up. To which the coach replies, "are you kidding me, if you had a meat cleaver she would be dead!"

I'm still laughing about that one.
