How do you guys get your shirt tucked in and get it to stay in? Just curious if there are any better/other methods out there.

Rubber flexbelt. Keeps shirt/slacks in place, so you aren't pulling a Steve Welmer all night.

tight pants and beer gut works too.

I use reverse suspenders. They clip on to the bottom of your shirt and either go under your foot or clip to your socks.

I've seen them alot of ways, and the best I have seen is the reverse suspenders, but it seems a little uncomfortable, so I know alot of guys who tuck it into their compressions.

That can't be comfortable. How tall are you? I'm 6'1" but I get the long shirts. No problems with them -- but I am one of the ungodly infidels who wears a belt.

Duct Tape?

I tuck my shirt into my McDavid compression shorts. I haven't had a problem yet (knock on wood).

A shirt and pants that actually fit helps.

I used to wear the flex belt, but haven't in about 6 years, and I don't have a problem.

Most times where I see officials with this problem, they have a shirt that is not long enough, and they still think their pant size is 34 when it's 38, so they wear them around the top of their hips, instead of at their waist.

Best idea yet.....LOL......

ditto.........

I'm 6' right on the nose, and I don't even notice them. I also wear full length compression pants so maybe that helps with them rubbing against my calf. But they're not bad at all.

Sounds to me like this came right out of the "McGeyver" handbook!

These are widely used in the military. If you see someone in uniform and it looks like something is constantly pulling on their shirt, this is it (although they are actually called "reversed suspenders"). They sound worse than they are; once you get used to wearing them, you never notice. The kind that attach to your socks are probably easier to get used to but they can come loose from your socks and you will have to adjust them if you wear different lengths of socks. the kind you put your foot through are sure to stay on your foot, but they must still be secured to your shirt or you could have something flapping out the bottom of your pants! Oh, but I don't wear them for basketball, I tuck my shirt into my compression shorts and/or tights. For those who wear McDavid compression shorts: wouldn't you like to have some that have a string in them to tie? Maybe they have some that tie and I don't know about them.

I wear full length running tights underneath, tuck everything in, and tie them up tight.

I think in your case, they are more like "jogging" tights, or "sauntering" tights.

Trigger,
Footrace, you, me, now, go.

I wear the same.
My run is kinda like two full strides, then a stumble, a limp and a skip. By that time, I'm almost in position.

Trigger, that is pretty harsh for him........A word to better describe it would be more like loping or lumbering. Besides, I know Trigger can move.......I've witnessed him doing a Chuck Norrisesque somersault after being taking out at the knees by a 16 year old girl waiting to sub in, recovering, and still getting in position to see the play.......

That might be the funniest post in history! My students are looking at me like I'm an idiot (nothing new) because I'm sitting at my desk laughing so hard I almost fell out of my chair.

hey does that flex belt help keep pants up as well, ive lost a lil weight and my pants dont stay up like i want them too, and was wondering if the belt would work

That has got to hurt.

:eek:

It does work great for that too. It also is nice that you don't have to be tucking in your shirt and then getting on the players for the same thing.

I was meaning my shirts, not tuck everything in a disturbing "Silence of the Lambs" type move.

I
 

don't wear anything under my reffing slacks. I usually try to zip a small part of a black stripe of my shirt in my zipper. This keeps me pretty well tucked in front. the back is a problem though, especially when I bend over for the ball.

Re: I
 

Going commando in a basketball game? Now that sounds like it would really, really hurt.

I do it this way as well. The Flexbelts break too easy.

Ah, come on, there's nothing more attractive than a little ref crack showing. Keeps the game lively!

Seriously, you all wear compression pants/shirts under your ref pants?

It's the guys with the beer gut that have their shirts popping out!

I'd like to think I'm in decent shape (6'0", 180lbs.) and I don't have any problems with my shirt coming out.

I did try the FlexBelt for a little while, but found it was more hassle than it was worth...I didn't notice my shirt stayed in any better than before than with my regular pants (beltless, of course).

I see alot of guts wearing the belts, but I like to tuck my shirt into my compression shorts works for me. I've seen the suspenders before just looks uncomfortable IMO.

Yes indeed. Been doing this ever since I started. Let a buddy talk me into the flexbelt one night and I absolutely hated it.

You mean suspenders like these?

Hey now, what's wrong with the Red Green show?! ;)

Yes I do, I also wear the McDavid compression shirt under my stripes.

As mentioned above, the rubber flex-belt is marvelous! It serves two purposes: 1. Keeps shirt down and 2. Keeps pants up. Make sure and wear it with the knobs out. Honig's is the place to get 'em.
