Belts yes or no

[Randa16]

I have always wore a belt growing up with shorts or jeans, I feel weird if I don’t have one on. When I first started doing basketball I wore a belt because again I always have. Lower level youth games never heard anyone say a word about it. I started doing high school never heard a word from anyone about it. Last week doing a JV game and partner says why do you wear a belt? I said always have why? He goes on a rant how horrible it looks and real refs don’t wear belts. It made me mad but after got me thinking is it that bad? Did I miss something? 6 years and no one ever said a word to me and I know I have seen a few others wearing a belt. So thoughts about it would be appreciated
