JR, be honest. Before this thread, did you even know Wade or any player could possibly wear something that looked like it broke the rule but didn't? After my first post you thought I was talking about someone obviously breaking the rule and now you are insinuating you would ask a player if they are wearing tights or super-high socks? Excuse me, you said something like any experienced official would take a real good look. Applying your theory, which I realize may be a stretch, to other areas of officiating would mean any experienced official would have this whole officiating thing whipped once they gain experience. That isn't realistic.
Tjones, it's all good. Today I had a college scrimmage. It was my first time on the court in about two months - the longest layout in years for me. The players played well for the first two halves. One player got a little chippy during the third half. The players were just getting tired. I also tried out my new shoes, Nike Kobe1's in all black. They are pretty sweet and will work out for me this season. I will only wear them part-time since I have some Nike Air Max Elites on the way.

Tommy,
It is good to see you back. Glad everything seems to be going well. Until this post, I was under the impression that what Wade was wearing was compression pants not any different than what I wear under my pants. I even had a couple of conversations about this and whether it was legal at the HS and NCAA levels. Until this post I see the difference. I would likely ask the player if those are socks or pants knowing what I know now. Peace

Thank you Rut.
I just wanted to start a conversation about something I noticed one of the million times Wade was on the floor.

Also btw, you worded your first post of this thread as if someone might actually be wearing something illegal. In a follow-up post, you then confirmed that Wade actually was wearing something that was illegal-i.e. compression shorts that didn't come above the knee. And now you're saying above that it doesn't break a rule? Could you explain that one to me? Also, I sureashell am not insinuating that an official should ask any player anywhere if they were wearing anything illegal, as you stated above. That would be kinda stoopid imo. What would you do if you asked and the player then says that whatever they're wearing isn't illegal? Just say "OK, nevermind"? No, you simply look at what the player is wearing, and then you decide whether it is illegal or not. Last edited by Jurassic Referee; Sun Oct 15, 2006 at 05:25am. |
