Nothing better to do

Actually you are incorrect. The CCA Requirement is only for Division 1 officials. Other can follow if the choose when or how they can apply their own standards. A good example of this is the color of the shirt used at the JUCO level in many parts. Those officials can and do use the grey shirts and you do not see anything in the CCA Manual that requires such a thing. This jacket falls under the same situation. The reality is that all lower level college conferences have not required their staff to wear these jackets and even have different expectations because not all officials will have the old jackets. Unless this guy works at the D1 level, his assignor has the right to expect different things.

Just to follow up on this comment: the CCA requirements are only for Division 1 officials, because the "CCA" is simply all the Division 1 assignors, the Collegiate Commissioners' Association. The D1 assignors get together and decide what mechanics (and jacket) their staffs will use. The D1 assignors have no authority over D2 or D3 or JUCO conferences, as far as I know. Those other conferences usually follow the CCA manual, because they want to have uniform mechanics, etc. But there's no requirement for them to do so -- again, as far as I know.

A good example of this is the color of the shirt used at the JUCO level in many parts.

My understanding (which could again obviously be wrong) is that the gray shirts are not allowed at any NCAA level because the black and white shirt is required by the rulebook. So it's slightly different from the jacket, which is not mentioned in the rulebook.

And after years of lurking, you finally decide to register and post this??

Before this thread gets locked, I'll add my $.02. TD, go back and read post #15 of this thread from rockyroad. It pretty much sums it up.

This is a discussion forum. Some people are right, some are wrong. For the most part though, everyone is only trying to help everyone else understand and interpret the rules of the game.

It's pretty obvious (especially to the longtime posters here) when someone comes along with a load of bull****, doesn't want to learn and only incites an argument in every post.
