Coaches Uniform

[the tax man]

REI- not kidding-Independent School State playoffs-finals-there is one coach who has a Wal Mart pullover w/out sleeves & different colored undershirt & this is what he wears. FED rules says matching uniform but where is the line for the coach & wearing a jacket. Do we follow Colledge interp. & say no jacket without inclement weather

Msavakinas-I'm with you-but it has already started- the 1st game is tommorrow & the one opposing coach is raising hell now. the AISA is asking for a rule stating exactly what he can & can't wear-understand about the matching uniforms- but theres really nothing particular about the coaches & a jacket. I say as long as he matches & his undershirt matches no problem except that its hot & hes wearing a jacket-he has a bigger problem than wearing a jacket

FED rules allow "JV players" arriving from their game to wear a different uniform (as long as it's not confusing). Apply the same logic to the coach and declare it an "alternative uniform"

Bob,

I'm not so sure I would want to do that in a state playoff game. IMO it's not too much to ask for the coach to be properly attired (correct undershirt and team colored jacket should suffice). So long as he is wearing proper pants, hat & team undershirt the jacket just needs to be in a team color (I would be fairly flexible there).

Well, you have to admit that your initial post led on to something TOTALLY different! We cannot stop a coach from wearing a jacket if he choose. WHAT he wears as a jacket is a whole other issue. You could have stated the above in your first post.

If the guy is wearing "athletic gear" on top in the schools colors, and baseball pants, that is about all I care about. Personally, I can't remember EVER seeing a coach in a state playoff game wear something other than the same uniform as the players wear and/or a "team jacket".

Maybe we are just sort of "high brow" here in Oregon.

Any of the coaches that I have dealt with over the years, wore the School's varsity jacket on the bases. Now the coach that RPatrino had (shorts and a tee shirt) would not remain in the box (as he did not allow). I don't care who he is, he is not going to be on the field in that attire!
