No one is judging anyone. We are saying that the action looks unprofessional as it relates to officiating (which can apply to other actions we do). That is not judging that is point out what is expected. Those that comes dressed have the right to do it and the people that will suffer the consequences are those officials that do it. I always wonder when someone comes here and says they cannot move up and blame it on politics. I wonder if things like this are what might be holding them back. Like Rich said, I have to show up for varsity game an hour before game time. I am not going to sit in the stands with my uniform. I want most of the people to not know I am an official until we get onto the court. I do not want people asking me questions about the prelim officials or standing out like a sore thumb. Of course some will see me walk in with a bag, but the majority of the crowd did not see me enter the game. Or they were not paying attention. It is hard to not see what cloths I have on when I sit and watch.

Peace
