You could get sued for cancelling the game. Stop being so scared of a lawsuit and just take steps to minimize your risks. If this is like a majority of HS basketball games, this will not be a safety issue. If it's a game with a bunch of tall and athletic kids then it will be a safety issue.
I don't think a blanket "call it off" works here.

I would have played the game if the Coaches said there was no concern of the players being injured.
For those that say that isn't good enough why would a call to the assignor or whoever else saying it was ok make any difference. It would still be me ignoring the rule and playing. |

That being said, I agree with you. This isn't an absolute situation, just like most of what we encounter. |

In essence, you're right. But if the state were to ask about the situation it would be much better for me to say my assignor signed off on. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk |
