Shirt tucked in

[Jimgolf]

Boys JV game. During FT administration official tells player to tuck in shirt from about 20 feet away. Tells him again. Tells him again. Issues delay of game warning.

Player says, "Huh?" He never heard the official. IPODs are ruining the kids' hearing, LOL.

If he doesn't hear by the 2nd time, I'm sure the coach will hear me loud and clear when I say "I need a sub!!"

I don't think you can issue a delay of game warning in the case. This is not one of the four delay of games warnings. 4-47-1.2.3.4 Rule Book

A player not conforming to the uniform policy shall be directed to leave the game. 4-15 Rule Book

"Ditto"

Players do not COME IN or STAY IN with the shirt tail out.

I know that I'm gonna kick myself for starting this but.....

This came up on the NFHS forum.....

Does the shirt-tucked-in rule(NFHS 3-4-15) apply at all times and any time during the game? Pre-game warm-ups? Bench personnel? Intermissions?

If so, what is the penalty for non-compliance?

Common sense officiating should answer this one. Don't go looking for trouble it will find you.

I don't have my books handy to verify so this is strictly my opinion, The rule applies to all players involved in "live ball" situations. I do not believe the rule pertains to bench personnel or players during intermissions. To be blunt, "If we are playing ball, they will make every effort to keep it in."

Hence the importance of a doing a pre-game with the coaches. I always tell them in advance that we won't let the players come in if there shirts are untucked. This way the coaches won't blame us for not letting them in. They know from the very beggining that we wouldn't let them come in.

I as well would NOT give a delay of game warning. Just throw that issue in the pre-game and it'll be taken care of!
