Home team wearing read

[stewcall]

Tournament game traveling team is home. Coach knew they were the home team...they come out wearing red jerseys. Did not bring white ones...neither did the other traveling team (visitors). High school game. We start the game with a 2 shot technical and ball at half court. Was this correct?

Correct by rule. And, the "home" team coach has to sit (the T is direct to him).

Now, some areas set aside this rule for holiday tournaments.

Thanks- that is what we did. We looked for the AD running the tournament-- could not be found--or anyone else in her place. Did not affect the outcome of the game. Clearly explained to both coaches at the 12 min mark before the game started-- no issues

What did you want the athletic director for?

both teams were in the loser's bracket. Perhaps the home team had no knowledge of their home status. Perhaps he had told the team that red was acceptable. Just wanted as much knowledge as possible before we implemented the rule.
Just didn't like starting the game with a T due to a uniform infraction during a holiday tournament.

The confusion is that in your original post you stated the home team was aware they were the home team.

A couple of things. First, I agree with you about no T during ANY tournament for this. That's just my take. BUT, if you are in any way considering giving one, I don't really see where the AD (or anybody else for that matter) telling them it's okay would change that.
