It's not rocket science.

This is the way I handle it as well. As far as the fashion police stuff, I agree that it does seem a little much, but NFHS is that way in alot of sports (baseball in particular). On the other hand, if the coaches would cover it early, it wouldn't be a problem. Last year in a sophmore game before a V game I didn't allow a sub because he was told 3 times to pull his short up. He started onto the floor and I waved him back to the table and told the coach we would let him in at the next dead ball if he is in proper uniform. The crowd was on me for that, but after the game I had 4 coaches from that school (not all basketball) thank me because they hadn't seen anyone else enforce it.
