They're called "uniforms" for a reason.

Some kids, no matter what, can't keep jerseys tucked in, too tall, too big, wrong size, etc. Typically it's the kid who plays inside linebacker on the football team. We can generally ignore these "violations".

Others with properly fitted jerseys can occasionally be given friendly reminders to tuck them in, best time is before a free throw. They comply, we thank them, we play on.

Knuckleheads are another matter completely. We give them a friendly reminder to tuck them in, they seem to comply, until they think that we aren't paying attention and they intentionally pull out the jersey. These knuckleheads get a polite invitation to "sit a tick". I haven't had to do this for a few years, but when I did it, it always worked.
