Quest #95?

F - The home team must wear white when playing at home beginniing with the 2--7-08 season.

Rational - Does not have to be just "when playing at home" rather the home team on neutral sites (tournaments ) also.

Am I correct?

That would be my expectation.

Never read into a test question, take it as it is written. The answer is true.

It doesn't say that they don't have to wear white at a neutral site. All it says is, when you're playing at home, you have to wear white. And that's true.

This is the dumbest thing I have ever heard. "Must wear white."

This bold of a statement is nothing but the Fed trying to exercise it's muscle on something that does nothing to improve the game of basketball.

No, this is a pretty good move actually. More and more teams have gone to light gray, light blue, light yellow etc. over the past few years for their home uniforms. I can remember two games last year where the home and away colors did not contrast enough. Reffing a powder blue home team vs. a sky blue away team is not ideal. They are giving teams four years to come into compliance to accomodate the teams that just recently bought new uniforms.

I agree. I see this with gray unis and also with gold unis at home. Can get distracting.

Put my vote in the "yea" category.

Gold is "home" for some/"away" for others. When they play...what a mess!

White is (and should be) everyone's "home" color!

I once worked a game between a home team wearing white and the visiting team wearing a very light grey. It was a very challenging night. Got the color mixed up more than once that night.

The NFHS is just paving the way for us as officials to be able to wear those new Gray with black pinstriped officials shirts the same year white becomes mandatory for home teams.

Oh boy, I hope not.
