Note that grunewar's post was in blue.

Get it?

If I'm not on the game; I'm not going to let an undershirt ruin my enjoyment of the game.
My thinking is when I happen to attend a game, or see game film, of officials that allow this type of thing is what else they might be letting go by either not applying a rule or not knowing it.

As always I appreciate what you all do. Even though it doesn't seem like it most of the time we appreciate what you all do.
Officials for game 1 were correct.

I only have one question for you, coach. Are you in the Sacramento area?

Thanks coach for sharing your experience(s). Our apologies for prior misapplications of the Rule(s) in your games. As you can possibly tell, our bark is worse than our bite. (again my idea of humor) We do however, care a great deal about this game called basketball, as you do.

Now that we know you are a coach, please feel free to comment and comment often. It's always better for us officials to fully understand your point of view. Your insight can prove invaluable to us, as we hope ours will for you. That way we can communicate more effectively with each other during a game and thus deliver a better product.

As a good friend shared a prayer with me to say before games: "May the ball go in the basket and may the players determine the outcome of the game".

Thanks again and best of luck in your season.

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.

What's A Uniform ???

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.

"It’s a breath mint!"
"It’s a candy mint!"
"Two, two, two mints in one!"

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.

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

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.
