Scramble???? Too bad. 99.99% of these sleeves etc are not for medical reasons. Therefore, shouldn't be a big deal for them to ditch them. My biggest struggle is enforcing the rule at middle school level bc some of our city schools play by a modified rule set regarding turbo clock etc and every coach thinks that gives them carte blanche to ignore other rules as well


I wish I had a cool signature

Sadly at the college level the fashion police is not as high a priority as we make it here on the HS level.

NCAAW last night, had three players roll down socks so the double logo on the socks wasn't visible. Hate being the fashion police.

Oh really? I can't speak for NCAAM but watch an NCAAW game and see if that's the case. To say our SRE is vigilant about uniform rules would be an understatement.

Sadly? We spend more time worrying about uniform rules than we do learning how to call our balls and strikes. I see new officials who don't know what a pivot foot is but they can tell you what the logo restrictions are.

We don't have our priorities straight.

We have a few of those guys. We also have some guys who can call the heck out of pivot feet, block charges, etc., but either misunderstand, or don't care to enforce the fashion standards.

Luckily we have a ton of guys that can do both. That's the high priority that we should all be striving for.

I only need one of three to know the fashion crap. I need all three to be good playcallers.

Connecticut prep schools (varsity only) use a shot clock. I'm a 100% NFHS guy, so I always pray that my partner will be a college guy.

If Connecticut prep schools use shot clocks, and you officiate Connecticut prep school, then you need to be 100% an official who knows the pertinent rules.

Who CARES if they're for medical reasons? They're legal to use.

I think what he is saying is, they could just take the sleeves off to make everything match, and since most are wearing them for a medical reason, taking them off is an easy fix.
