Do you mean A1 loses his left red sock and his right black sock. Then A2 loses his right red sock and his left black sock? That is incredible!!

What does that official do when one of his socks gets lost in the wash? Surely confusion reigns.

Yesteday, Daryl "The Preacher" and I officiated a girls' jr. H.S. DH (7th grade game followed by an 8th grade game). The visitor's team colors were maroon and white. When Daryl and I entered the court for the 7th grade game we noticed that all of the Visitor's were wearing white socks except for four players: V1 was wearing a maroon and white tie-died sock on her left leg while V2 was wearing a marron and white tie-died sock on her right leg, and both V3 and V4 were wearing a maroon sock with white bumble bee stripes on their right legs while wearing white socks with a maroon stirrup design (softball uniform sock) on their left legs.

Daryl and I immediately applied the following NFHS Rule:

Rule 3: Players, Substitutes and Equipment
Section 5: Team Member’s Equipment, Apparel
Article 1: .....The referee shall not permit any team member to wear equipment or apparel which, in his/her judgment, is dangerous or confusing to other players or is not appropriate.



NOT!!!

The players were wearing the socks as described but I thought I would give everybody and April Fool's Day joke a month early.

Old School would concur with the original ruling.

Don't be a plumber.

AMEN and Thank You!!

Die their hair all the same color? If not, whatinthe heck is the difference?

Let the leagues and/or state worry about this crap. It just ain't our problem and it also has absolutely nuthin' to do with us. Your association is just sticking their nose in where it doesn't belong.

Lah me........

Again, AMEN and Thank You!!

Have a good season.

One more time, with feeling, AMEN and Thank You!!

Hmm, bad choice. NFHS has nothing to say about socks.
