Good Thing I Didn't Bet My House ...
JRutledge is 100% correct. It was an actual NFHS rule change, socks were removed from the logo restriction in 2000-01. Socks were listed under logo restrictions for the four previous years, maybe longer since my rulebooks only go back to 1996-97 (I've officiated since 1980).
I'm not going to quibble about this being a sock restriction, or a logo restriction, it's still a nice ancient citation. Mark T. DeNucci, Sr. is still the king of ancient citations, but JRutledge is a formidable challenger.

Feasible?
Question: How feasible would it be to suggest that the NF mandate that any player who participates while wearing Rx eyeglasses--must also wear a support band that prevents said Rx eyeglasses from falling off during live ball action?
Maybe make such restraining bands a definite part of the "legally equipped to participate" aspect? I've had 8th grade girls & boys games whose glasses are flopping off when they get slight contact or just due to perspiration. Even had a case where a kid's glasses were stepped on and broken in the paint. As an official I've come to question the courtesy [if not legitimacy] of halting play to allow them to pickup Rx eyeglasses. |

This is a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation. I would suggest having sports goggles on hand for those athletes who need glasses, and avoid this entire issue, but this is not a solution that can be mandated by the NFHS Rules Committee.

It is not about being right, it is about what happened. That happened and I remember it because I was an official. Was not trying to debate, you were. I was just stating what I remembered and folks like you always have to challenge what people know or remember to be right.
Now back to my camp games. Peace

Search For The Truth ...
Pretty difficult to debate a fact.
Facts are often binary. It's an apple, not an orange. Five times three equals fifteen, not sixteen. You remembered correctly and you were right. I, and at least one other Forum member, remembered incorrectly, and we were wrong. It was easy to get closure on the sock issue (where there's a will, there's a way), about ten minutes of research through some old rulebooks. That's the best part about this Forum, if there's a fact (citation, rule, interpretation, etc.) out there, it will eventually see the light of day. Someone will remember something, the issue will be researched, and the truth will lay bare. Unfortunately, it's not always that easy. Sometimes the NFHS complicates the issue by using imprecise, incomplete, contradictory, or untimely language, that's when we have debates, often with no closure. Then, of course, there are local differences in the way we do things. Different isn't always better, or worse, sometimes it's just different.

Double Secret Probation ...
Quote:
A few years ago we were having some problems with head coaches attending. Our state interscholastic sports governing body made these meetings mandatory, and if the head coach refuses to attend the pregame meeting, the referee is notify the assignment commissioner, who will contact the state interscholastic sports governing body, who will contact the school's principal. Then, the coach gets called down to the principal's office.
