VHSL Requirement for Waistbands

[Raymond]

As Virginia approaches it state play-off games, I am looking for ...

1) something from the VHSL's online clinic or its website that states we are not to allow players to participate with waistbands rolled down.

2) what rule/case play/latest interp from the NFHS is the justification for enforcing this prohibition.

I don't have any of the VHSL clinic information saved off and I forget the website that now hosts their clinics and tests.

NFHS Basketball Rules Interpretations - 2018-19

SITUATION 9: During warm-ups, the officials notice that some players have rolled the waistband on their shorts. What actions should be taken by the officials, if any, at this time? RULING: During the warm-up period, the referee should notify the coach of the infractions and ask that they be corrected immediately. If the corrections are not made and players attempt to enter the game with rolled waistbands, those players should not be allowed to enter the game prior to correcting the issue. If player(s) in the game have rolled waistband(s), they shall be directed to leave the game and may not re-enter until the next opportunity to substitute. No penalty is involved. The game should not be held-up to allow for the correction. (3-3-5, 3-5-5)

Billy, I think Raymond is asking for something Virginia-specific. Maybe ilyazhito knows....

Correct on both counts, but that's in addition to what Billy posted from the NFHS. We just need something to send out to the officials as a reminder.

I was only answering question #2, and I thought I did a damn good job of doing it.

I'll leave the rest up to the "Lovers".

I sent that interp to my assignor. Hopefully our rules interpreter has something from the state from the preseason clinic.

The website is whistle.vhsl.org. If you log in to your profile on the Whistle, you should be able to see your test results and the video clinics for all sports that have them, including basketball.

I believe it's called Whistle.
