I disagree that this is an issue officials should be concerned with in 1st place and I disagree with the interp b/c I'm not gonna presume that the manufacturer didnt intend for a waistband to be rolled.

BTW here is a link from 2 seaons ago talking about the trend primarily in NCAAM. Its funny how styles have changed and kids actually want shorter shorts now. When I was in HS in the mid 90s we did everything we could to get our shorts longer. Some also cite fit/comfort/performance as a well but its clearly a trend. And one that IMO is a waste of time and energy for officials to be concerned with.

Rolling waistbands a new trend in basketball fashion

I've seen it quite a bit this year. I'm not going to address it unless we're directed to.

Yep, and I wouldn't ask about it either. It's like asking for homework.
