Absolutely not. Coaches select all state tournament officials and I guarantee that they aren't looking at belts, or no belts; white on shoes, or no white on shoes; noose lanyard, Smitty lanyard, or no lanyard; properly placed American flag, improperly placed American flag, or no American flag; Fox 40, or smaller Fox 40, etc.

Thanks for agreeing with me. I am doing exactly what's expected of me, as are all 325 members on my local board, some who do what's expected by wearing belts, and others who do what's expected by wearing beltless slacks.

Which is exactly the point that I was trying to make. Our local standards, in regard to uniforms, are apparently vastly different than most uniform standards all over the country (regions, states, local associations).
