Illegal Uniform Technical

[JRutledge]

My question to you is why did you believe the coach? No one was informed. No one knew about this other than the coach? Are you sure they were not just trying to get out of a T. I am all for common sense and not penalizing a team when possible, but I do not like the fact something was changed and no one was informed. They should have brought this to your attention when it took place.

Peace

That's why I wanted to ask this. I had no idea that he was telling the truth, althugh if I had to guess I would say he was. But, if this happened would you ask to see the other shirt before the T? Do you even ask the coach about it before assessing? Or do we as officials have the expectation that coaches are responsible for bringing this to our attention.

On the surface, I am giving a T. I am not asking for anything. If they could not ask for a change in shirt, that is their problem. You do not have to just change shirts because of blood; you can have the blood removed with a solution. I think they should give you the option to make a decision or at least inform everyone of the change. For all you know they just changed the jersey and forgot to report it in the book.

Nope, I don't ask to see a bloody shirt. You're buying into his game. Let's say he is lying. What do you do then, T him up for lying to you. He didn't follow proper procedure.
