Somebody seriously brought this up a few years ago, but it never officially took.

Note that grunewar's post was in blue.

Get it?

Glad to see this has finally gained some traction!

Just for fun. Had another away game tonight and I asked about what was legal and what wasn't. Official said that All undershirts could be black as long as all players had black undershirts, along with the black tights. Or he said they could be same color as jerseys(green) with black tights, as long as all players were the same...

So now I have 4 different answers.

Now you got me started on NFHS compression short restrictions.

Compression shorts must be the predominate color of uniform, whatever the hell "uniform" means to the NFHS? Jersey? Shorts? Forget any other colors for compression shorts, there are no other options, it's limited to just one color (for that team, that night), the predominate color of the "uniform".

What's the difference between compression shorts (predominate color of uniform), and tights (solid color black, white, beige, or the predominant color of the jersey) that only go down to above the knee?

For color restrictions purposes, are they tights, or are they compression shorts?

Silly NFHS monkeys.

Had a girls game last night. Blue has 2 girls with black headbands, two with white headbands and 3 with blue pre wrap. White had 2 girls with Skyler Diggins black head bands. I just don't get why it is so hard for them to understand.

Because it isn't enforced consistently. I know a lot of officials who are making teams who wear the "Diggins" headband simply tuck the tail part into the headband, which doesn't make them legal. Then when some of us make them remove the headbands because they're illegal, they are confused. (With good reason)

Kind of like players who think it's OK to wear metal clips in their hair with tape over the top of them. Not on my court.

Maybe because the coaches don't tell their players the equipment rules (maybe because the coaches don't know the equipment rules, or don't fully understand the equipment rules).

And then, of course, there's the inconsistent enforcement issue, which has already been discussed above, and we all know who to blame for that.

Read the whole thread and you might get why some coaches "don't understand"

One of the best posts written on this forum in years.

I would spend more time worrying about the shot clock or back court rules.

There's nothing to see here folks. It's just a crazy referee venting. Move along. Keep moving.
