Note that I know how to spell "gauge" correctly too. |

![]() I do also have a gauge in my bag, but I usually don't bring it out on the floor with me because I do the "bounce" test. I have replaced balls that were either under- or over-inflated many times. I also have a needle in my jacket pocket in case we need to take some air out, because it seems as though over-inflation is more of an issue than under-inflation. But I've never had the gauge or needle with me during the game to check for consistancy. That, to me, would fall under the same category as measuring the width of numbers on a jersey.

Btw, I kept the gauge and needle in my jacket pocket in a little leather drawstring pouch. Saves running around if the game ball seems funny or someone asks you to check it. |

Thank you for all of your posts.
It seems that this issue goes on a ref by ref basis. I would think that this is something most referees would not worry about, but I have heard stories (in Volleyball in particular, also loose "3/4 Width Rule") where teams have been required to forfeit due to number width. Most manufacturers (including Nike and Reebok) offer 4" and 6" front numbers for basketball. Almost all of the 4" variety are illegal by the "at least 3/4 wide" rule. I am worried I will run into a letter of the law ref and the other team will be shooting techs. |

Is there a way you can get a verification from the manufacturer or printer that the shirts and numbers are considered legal under HFHS rules? I would think most would take that into consideration before offering that product.

I once lived in a remote area of Alaska where we would travel by plane to some of the villages to officiate the year end tournaments. One of our officials travelled with a tape measure and would always measure the height of the baskets as well as the distance to the free throw lines.

But, I am jealous of the leather pouch. I still keep my gauge in the little bubble-wrap bag it came in.

As far as the OP, I guess if I noticed the numbers were significantly different than what they usually are, I might mention it, but I've never seen anything remotely close. This sounds like something the school should be taking up with their uniform providers before they order. I know the rules state exact specifications, but I've never heard of anyone having a problem with the size of their numbers in my area.
As far as the sidebar conversation, I never carry a gauge, but do take a needle along. You can almost always take a little air out of the ball. ![]() |

I'd think the actual pressure, while it may be within the range stamped on the ball, could still be out of the needed range depending on the floor.
