Point taken. This is what I should have done, and will do if it ever pops up again.

I see EVERYTHING wrong with the coach's line of thinking. He knows the rules and should be properly instructing them.

When people ask me about the uniform rules, I tell them that when mom and dad are in the stands taking pictures, they should want the kids to look good in the photos. Everyone being properly uniformed helps this to happen.

What does this have anything to do with knowing the rules and instructing them?

What you want doesn't matter; what the parents want does.

Here's the rule:

3-5-6: Undershirts shall be a single solid color similar to the torso of the jersey.

Some of us enforce the rule. Some of us don't enforce the rule, even when we know the undershirt color is illegal. Some of us don't understand rule. Some of us ignore the rule, and don't even check the color of undershirts.

In the absence of any contradictory exception from the state association, there's only one good way to go here.

So where do you fit?

Stand up and be counted.

Enforce? Not Enforce? Misunderstand? Ignore?

Have I covered all the bases?

Please don't make me start a poll thread.

I enforce the rules when I'm the official on the game.

Excellent. I may have misunderstood one of your earlier posts. Sorry.

I asked him why it was that we are half way through the season and we still have girls wearing illegal undershirts. His response was, "Because none of the officials have done anything about it."

I may have been confused because the coach was also a basketball official.

Yes, he is also a basketball official, but not in the context of that game. He is a coach and should be treated as one. He should be treated the exact same as any other coach in the league.
