Exactly. I worked with some rookies this past week, and I made it clear that while fashion police rules are posterial pains, we're expected to enforce them at all levels we work. If you don't, you're just screwing over the following crews who will work with those teams.
We had one coach who attempted to play the "it's the first game, can't we let it go this one time" card, but it was clearly disingenuous. We were also dealing with one illegal T-shirt, which can be a sensitive area with younger girls, but you have to politely stand firm.
