Therefore I put it in all the power points that I produce.

Freddy:

I watched the MichiganHSAA Online State Rules Meeting this afternoon. It was at least 40 minutes too long, but I received my certificate to print, LOL! And I download a copy of all of your PPt presentations.

MTD, Sr.

*I like your use of alliteration; however, as long as there is going to be differential preference for rules enforcement [within states, let alone between states], then I fear we will always have this dilemma. I for one can honestly say that I am not in favor of the "rolled" appearance of shorts--looks trashy and unkept. But I guess we should blame the Michigan Fab Five for this trend. Alas...the pendulum now swings back the other way now. Even LeBron is wearing shorts that are 'shorter'. I wish you all a fine season of rules enforcement and enjoyment of the contests.

*Ohh OK, thanks for the list--I'll need to order at least 2 of the 'Collared Ref Shirts";); and just maybe I can get a better look with the blu blocker shades on.

*Just got the word from the State Interpreter: according to him we are to ALLOW rolled shorts even if the manufacturer's logo is visible--as long as the players have the tie-string is tucked in. So, I guess I'm reversing my stance...but hey at least I don't have to bother with telling coaches about the rolled shorts. Now I can focus on improving on getting the coaches out of their 30 seconds time out [stop abusing the 30 sec time out is what our crew got dinged on in an eval last season].
