Even without knowing what was said, I'm sure that we can probably all agree upon that. Davis certainly wasn't ejected for simply tying his shoe (as some online sensational eye-catching headlines seem to imply).

Agree, except in the case where a loose shoe on the floor of a high school game may present a safety concern for the players, not necessarily just for the player with one shoe.



Just curious as to why the NFHS specifically broaches eyeglasses and lenses, but doesn't specifically broach untied (or missing) shoes.

Of course, shoes won't break if a player steps on them.
