Coaches Biggest Problem With New Rules ...

[SC Official]

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.

NFHS Basketball Rules Interpretations - 2018-19

SITUATION 6: A1 has tucked the bottom of his/her shorts into the tights being worn. RULING: Illegal. The referee shall not allow the player to enter the game or direct the player to leave the game until the shorts are removed from inside the tights. After making the correction, the player may re-enter the game at the appropriate time for a substitution. The uniform should be worn as the manufacturer intended it to be. (3-5-5)

Watching my son's V games in the LA area, I haven't seen it enforced at all.

But then, I've seen tucked in shirts enforced less this year, and last night there was blood on a shirt and at the bench an injured player whipped off his and gave it to the player with blood, who took off his on the court and pulled on the other without tucking it in . . . and I'm pretty sure there was blood on his shorts, too . . .

Ohio is allowing rolled waistbands sans logos as well.

[Kansas Ref]

Kansas and Missouri have allowed rolled waistbands, also I've seen some players who have actually cut out/off the Russell or other Mfg. logo.

No
Rolled up
Shorts and honestly a GOOD pregame with captains will take care “most”of the time about shorts,jersey
R1- hey captain make sure you inform ALL teammates and coach that our crew will not allow rolled up shorts and have your jerseys tucked in 👌
But ya will have that one that will buck system and thinks rules don’t apply

Selective hearing for me? I missed that one. Thanks for correcting me.

Thank SC Official. He led me to the citation.

Worked my first scrimmage of the season tonight. Girls. We came out of the locker room and walked across the court to greet the coaches, the very first word out of one coach's mouth was, "So you guys really aren't going to enforce that no waistband rolling rule, are you? My girls are all freaking out about it".

The importance of this issue to coaches and players is blowing my mind.
