New uniform rule

[Camron Rust]

In Oregon, we've been informed to not apply these types of rules to lower levels....only Varsity. Basically, they're not going to require some schools to buy 6-8 sets of new uniforms to get each of V, JV, JV2, and Fresh for both boys/girls to get white jerseys. Only the V team will need to update right away. The others will get the hand-me-downs in time.

[BayStateRef]

In Massachusetts, the MIAA Basketball Committee "voted to waive the new NFHS rule requiring white uniforms for home teams until such time as each school has an opportunity to purchase new uniforms."

This applies at all levels.

I agree that is seems trivial to enforce this at the sub-varsity level and that it places an undue burden on the schools. HOWEVER, if my assignor says to enforce it at all levels guess what I am going to be doing.

Agreed, but I'm not going to ask. If they want me to enforce it at the JV level, they'll have to bring it up and be very clear about it.

A lot of schools have traditionally used varsity hand-me-down uniforms for the JV squads, and I've never really concerned myself with uniform issues in JV games, unless we had duplicate numbers. Even then, a little masking tape has solved the problem most times.

I don't worryabout it in JV, but I know some guys who do. They're usually a real joy to work with.

Would these guys call a T for a player wearing a jersey with masking tape to prevent duplicate numbers?
How many JV games do these guys do that start off with a technical foul for not having the starters marked 10 minutes before game time?
