Who Wears Short Shorts ???

Same? Similar? Something else? I can foresee some state associations making exceptions to this new rule, especially for subvarsity games. And if they don't, I can see some officials organizations making exceptions to this new rule for the middle schools that they service, as my local board already does regarding some uniform and equipment rules in middle school games, for example, illegal numbers. |
Independent Clauses ...
Quote:
Disagree. There are lots of "or"s in this new rule, thus lots of independent clauses. |
Too Late To Correct ...
Quote:
Agree. I was also thinking about this. Held balls, fouls, or granted timeouts, all include dead balls. Even an inadvertent whistle, or a whistle to pick up a loose coin on the court, or for a player to adjust their glasses. The "change of possession" in the rule would include things like live ball steals, and no team control shot attempts. |

I wonder if the NFHS is trying to duplicate the NCAA rule? If so, it needs to do better job with the new NFHS rule language. |

Candy Canes ...

Quote:
There are thousands of high school basketball teams in the country. At least one of them must be wearing striped shorts. We have a very successful Catholic high school team in our local area that wears warmups with red and white "candy cane" striped warmup pants. Every time they come out for layup lines, I think to myself, "What a bunch of Christmas clowns". It's their tradition, they're very successful, so they keep wearing them. |
Quote:
Again, I doubt this will even be an issue in my world because at the varsity level I do not see anyone stopping a JV kid from playing because the pants were a different color as the other pants but share the same basic color of their school or teammates. Peace |
Big Umbrella ...
Quote:
From your posts in this thread it appears that such multicolored shorts just don't occur in your games, and/or your state associations (or officials organizations, or individual officials), in the past, have redundantly allowed you to be tolerant to allow kids to play. But it's as big country, and the NFHS has a wide umbrella. If indeed "like color" means the same color, or a similar color, we will have at least three, or four, teams in our local area of about seventy schools that will have a "real" varsity problem with the new rule.

Before we would not have batted an eye and in this current rule we would not bat an eye either. Unless they say that mostly white pant has to involve a different style that is mostly white, then we are not doing something different. Or let us say that a visiting team has mostly green as their school color but they have a mostly grey jersey and pants style for that level, and a kid moving up has green and white. I am probably not changing what we are doing. For you, this seems to be a struggle. Quote:

Easier to answer if that player's black shorts didn't have any white trim? Without a NFHS interpretation, I'm not betting anything more than five dollars on my answer. What is the purpose and intent of this new rule? Is it to allow officials to easily identify players on each team during fast paced action? Or is to protect the integrity of high school basketball games, to prevent high school games from devolving into something like the "Wild West" or "circus" atmosphere often seen at weekly fourth grade recreation league practices in local elementary school gyms? |
