Here in my little corner of Connecticut, we've been instructed to ignore middle school uniform (not equipment) issues, thus we can legally have home team not wearing white, teammates wearing different color shorts, illegal numbers, and duplicate numbers.

Should I have reported it as "15, or as "51"?

I sure hope that the NFHS (unlike the NCAA) sticks to digits below six.

A few years ago it took me a while to get comfortable with two hand (and stating the actual number and not stating each digit) reporting.

If TPTB are going to allow these numbers, I'm using the FIBA signals to report fouls.

On second thought, a scorekeeper at a game like this might get more confused by the 11-15 numbers where a clenched fist=10. Nevermind me.

Do what the NBA officials do and point your fingers towards each other instead of up when reporting numbers from 6-9.
Although illegal at the NFHS level, you may still have this in a game as the HC could just take a direct technical foul and have a player wear number seven, for example.

That's an interesting trick. I haven't heard of that.

Here in my little corner of Connecticut, in middle school games we ignore uniform issues (home team not wearing white, teammates wearing different color shorts, illegal numbers, and duplicate numbers).

I had #6 (Bill Russell) in my game yesterday.

I had two #10's in my game last week.

I had different color shorts on teammates two weeks ago.

And we always get Red versus Blue , Green versus Red, etc. in our middle school leagues.

Check: Illegal Numbers
Check: Duplicate Numbers
