Pards answer..."I can't see the belt, so my zone won't be right" DOH, I was working with Homer Simpson!!!!
I agree your partner needs some help.

A much better way to address this is to tell the coach.

Especially if there are several kids with shirts out.

"Coach, tell them to get their shirts in."

Then it will be done.

This is one of the situations where the umpire is in charge of the game, and the players need to follow suit.

If a player doesn't want to conform, adios.

But I agree this can be handled without interuppting the game at all.

Thanks
David
