We don't even have conference assigners. Each individual school schedules the officials they want.

I've handed out a few now, but it took a long time to get in that situation. As I said before, it sounds like the adults/coaches in your various parts of the country have more problems with behavior than what I experience. I don't laugh with coaches. I pretty much ignore them the whole game and officiate the game. I don't care what they have to say, but if something really needs an explanation, they get it quickly and without holding up the game. I can't speak for any of my partners, but I don't believe I'm making anything harder for anybody. I have rarely had a partner that feels the need to "handle business". Once again, handling business does not necessarily equate to handing out Ts. Necessary tool sometimes, but not most of the time. My threshold must be just fine as my "handling of business" falls right in line with the other officials. Have you ever considered that your threshold is abnormally low? I doubt it. Do you think you are gaining respect by handing out Ts? Sometimes it's necessary, but it's not common in my area. It must be much more common in your area. |

Like I said, we've got a few knuckleheads on our local board. You, obviously, don't have any knuckleheads in your association. We've got 325 guys on our local board, the treasurer's job would be impossible to do without the threat of steep late fees. One doesn't ignore $50 fines. That isn't pocket change for most. And yet, we have guys who get fined every year. Forgetful, poor bookkeeping, lack of attention to detail, can't read a calendar, etc. We had a guy a few years ago that lost his entire season schedule because he forgot to attend a mandatory new rules meeting (several sites offered, several dates offered).

Different associations in and around the DC area do things differently. Most have paid scrimmages with the normal number of officials for the appropriate level (2 for subvarsity, 3 for varsity) showing up. Those that have paid scrimmages (JUSO, MBOA, Board 12, Board 134) do not pay a full game fee.
Cardinal Basketball Officials Association does not pay for scrimmages, but they assign extra officials to scrimmages (3 for a JV scrimmage and 4 for a varsity scrimmage) to allow the officials to rotate, to let JV officials practice 3-person mechanics in extra quarters, and to evaluate transfer officials. JUSO is unusual, because they have both paid scrimmages and classes combined with on-court training sessions. To my knowledge, no other association in the DC area conducts regular on-court training for officials. To get back to the OP, most coaches who have problems with the new rules do so because they don't read the rules, the rules are not very relevant (ball color and shape), or the rules are confusing (the backcourt exception |

Not Having To Do With The Game ...
Three scrimmages so far, two girls. In both girls scrimmages the coaches and girls complained about the waistband interpretation "not having to do with the game".

In a rare outbreak of common sense, PIAA just issued the following about rolled waistbands:
"The PIAA Interpretation on rolled shorts now clarifies that rolled shorts are permissible provided they do not reveal excess logos or dangling strings. Rolled shorts that reveal multiple logos or a dangling string should be treated in a similar fashion as an untucked shirt. A player wearing shorts with multiple logos shall be directed to leave the game as in 3-3-4. There is no penalty for rolled shorts provided they have a total of one (1) manufacturers logo on the garment and are worn above the hips." I must say, however, that I have yet to see a kid wearing his/her shorts below the hips. |

Update from IL: Allow the shorts to be rolled, as long as only one (or zero) logo appears on the shorts, including any that show in the rolled waistband. Essentially the NCAAW rule. Enforced at Varsity only. Anything goes at sub-varsity.

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 |

The rules are what your state tells you they are. I assume yours wants no rolled shorts? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro |
