New Uniform Rule

[deecee]

why would you call a T for a player changing his uniform on the bench because you asked him to and he has blood on it?

Did him changing his jersey have any effect on the game -- after my second year of officiating i gave up on trying to advance by following the rules to a t...just ref the game, let the kids decide it and play ball.

Half the rulebook is filler to me i just call fouls and violations and if players or coaches cross the line after i tried to talk them back i whack em (in 3 years only 3or4 techs).

If i was the player that had blood on my jersey and i went to change and you t'd me up I guarantee youd be ejecting me very shortly and T'ing up my coach...is that really proper game management -- not to mention from that point on you would have lost all credibility as a crew for issuing that techincal. havent you ever played shirts and skins before?

And my reply to coaches who point out the fact that I overlooked a rule i point out one that i did for their team -- it all evens out.

sorry for the rant but many refs think to much instead of just going with the flow -- if as a player i thought so much i would make so many mistakes. If i make a mistake i acknowledge it to the coach or player and lord knows ive made a few...
