We don't have some officials, here in my little corner of Connecticut, who wear "Fashion Police" badges, while others don't wear them, and without "badges", I'm not a mind reader.
Honestly I could give a darn about tights. If I noticed them I might try to make sure they are not tights by asking (I do not need to see them). I have seen more of these legging type that are like socks.

And the rules are clear and if a coach does not want us addressing these issues, then they need to have them follow the rules. It bothers me when coaches allow a kid to wear something that is clearly illegal and waits for us to be the bad guy. These things have nothing to do with officiating, they are babysitting.

Peace
