To T or Not to T--What Would You Have Done?

Let's say, though, that the conditions are "right" to assess the technical. The visitors coach knows the rule and wants the tech enforced.

You could...enforce the technical, knowing that the coach wanting the tech is correct by rule. Or, you could tell him, no coach, it's a freshman game on a Saturday morning, we're not going to enforce the rule.

Where I work, we're told to enforce the uniform rules at every level. Don't know why we would ignore this rule just because it's a freshman game.

There are a lot of assignors in this area that do not want you to be T'ing up everyone for book stuff most of the time either. Again, I really would not care about if they had a certain amount of time, I think I would find a reason to not have that issue. Heck you can always stop the clock on the game clock until you have both teams on the floor. Do everything not to have that situation. It just starts the game in a bad way and then you have to debate how right you were for several minutes. Not worth it most of the time at that level. The only way I would do that is if the conference had a policy and they just did not follow it. But sometimes you do not have even 10 minutes on the clock so you are reaching for the enforcement of this rule.

And I would like to know who wants uniform rules enforced at all levels. Mostly the people I work for say we are to be "technical" at the varsity level. Do what we can to allow them to play at the other levels.

Mostly on the girls' side, but it's becoming an issue on the boys side as well with the prevalence of "tights" and long sleeves. This is what we've got an eye out for in the pregame, right? Taking care of uniform issues before the game starts so that we can just play when it's time.

This is not a uniform issue, this is a book issue. And unless we are talking about things like tight colors or uniform colors, we are often ask to not nit pick something like what color jersey is worn if that is all the school has. Like if a home team had only gold jerseys, I probably would not do a thing if that is all they had. They are often passed down those uniforms and not the ones that are bought in the first round.

Right, of course. I know what you mean. And you're right, I am talking about accessory colors and all that.
