Did a JV girls game last night, at which the home team refused to keep their shirts in. I wouldn't have made such a big deal out of it, but it IS a rule. I repeatadly kept warning players to get their shirts in or I'll send 'em to the bench for a sub. We (partner and I)discussed it at halftime, and approached the coaches telling them to relay the message to their players, and they didn't argue. Later in the third quarter, I sent a girl to the bench before a dead ball throw in, and the coach told me we were being silly! Has anyone else had conflicts with this rule? What's the best way to go about enforcing it? It's kind of a trivial rule, but I told the coach if someone catches a finger on a shirt-tail and gets injured, I don't want to have to carry the load.
