Coaches Biggest Problem With New Rules ...

I understand the thought process regarding rolling the waistband and exposing a logo and/or drawstrings. What if the player rolls them the opposite way? Is that considered to be illegal?

No logo.drawstring would be displayed however the waistband is rolled. Thoughts?

It's still rolled, so if the state doesn't allow rolled shorts, then it's not allowed.

It is, however, much harder to detect. And, if it's not detected, it can't be enforced.

We were told to be lenient below varsity.

We are sticking with allowing rolling so long as no extra logo is showing and the drawstring isn't dangling.

Thank goodness.

I've been a stickler on it so far this year. Had a new one the other night where kids were tucking the bottom of their shorts into their compression shorts. My thought was they look like idiots and they didn't stay in once they started running so whatever. It's not a safety issue, and it is against the "worn as intended" rule, but I'm going fishing for that one. If you want to look like a dip$hit, feel free.

Actually there's a current-year interpretation outlawing this exact practice.

Now your state might not care but if they are sticklers on the waistband, then I would imagine they want this interp enforced, as well.

^^^^^
This is the SD interp, If you want to roll them, they must be rolled inward.
