OK, lets screw the game momentum up...Had a pard who did just that...PONY 14's, real good travel teams...6 kids he told to tuck shirts in when they came to box, F1 in a groove(lets knock his momentum off). Now, I am talking bout kids who have the front half hanging to his nuts, what is the problem?? 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
