I'm back in the (great?) state of CT for Christmas break, and am timing some games at my old high school.
I brought along a striped shirt in case I got assigned to the book, because I recall that the "recommendation" is getting stronger by the year in high school. Before the game, though, the AD told me he had a ref's shirt for the timer if I wanted to wear it. Talking with the officials after the varsity game, they also said that the timer should be the one with the striped shirt.
Was there a huge change in the rules recommendation (I still don't have my 2001-2002 book, as evidenced by my quoting the requirement for the calling official to notify coach of the DQ), or is this just something the local IAABO board does to be different?
