IHSA & Gray Pinstripe Shirts

I carry 40 (no you're not seeing things, that is "forty")
different shirts/undershirts to every baseball game.

But I AM a gear junky after all.

The NFHS does not mandate anything in high school sports. Any state can overrule the NHFS and do what they feel fits there specific needs.

There are penalties but no state "must" use any Federation rule.

Cool...wish I could have met you. I met Ron Pilo and we had a nice chat while watching a game. Ron's a class act...knows his stuff.

Z...was that game Friday the one I had with Snohomish?...They have that kid that is going to UW, what a great kid! Polite...just goes out and dominates with his size and athleticism.

I would have come up and introduced myself but I'm on crutches so I probably couldn't have caught you after the game.

Yes, I saw part of your Snohomish game. Snohomish is one of our local teams. I had Brockman 3 times this year. His sportsmanship is the best I've ever seen. I remember one particular game that went overtime and he had 40 points and 23 rebounds. Snohomish is down one and Brockman gets called for a charge by my partner with 7 seconds left (a good call) to seal the game for Stanwood. Brockman gets up, tosses me the ball and goes to find the player he is supposed to defend. Not even a dirty look. He just plays ball. Everyone who knows him says he is even a better person than a player and that is really saying something.

TJones,

I have heard this rumor for 3 years now. Until it happens I will not believe it. I already wear the shirts for college basketball. I like the feel of the shirts when I work a game. I personally think it would be a bad idea if you ask me. Officials would have to buy new shirts and that alone might cause more problems than it is worth. I guess we will see.

Peace

I agree JRut. Also it's been said the Kurt doesn't like them. Time will tell.

The states can do whatever they want. The NFHS doesn't mandate anything. Otherwise there'd be no high school shot clock anywhere and we know that's not the case.

The NFHS does prohibit any state that alters the rules from holding positions on the NFHS committees.

The rule also does not say it is required. It just states what the officials shall wear. I do not read anything that says it is required.

Shall means required...

From dictionary.com

Shall
Something, such as an order, promise, requirement, or obligation.

If it were optional, it would say recommends or may.

Tanner,
Tell me it ain't so! I have three B/W striped for b'ball, two white polo shirts for V'ball, and a Gold, Black, Black/White pinstripe, Red, and Blue for soccer. Where will I find room in my closet for gray?

I know the feeling. However, like it's rumored to be said, it won't be required, just optional if all three officials have them. For the record, I have 7 striped shirts, 4 pairs of pants, 3 compression shorts, and 3 sleeveless v-neck McDavid shirts. Sooooo I guess I could find the room for one pinstriped shirt!

Has anyone asked certain members of our esteemed group colleagues how the gray looks with fishnets? Hmmm?

Gotta refer that question to Mark or rainmaker!

However, if you're going to freely modify their rules anyway, why does it matter if you're on the committee?
