Looks like the officials were not sure of the rule, so the technicals were not accessed until halftime. That could not have been a fun scene.

Not having numbers on the front of the jerseys was an easy one.......all I can say is wow.....

Fortunately it should only take a few such stories to raise the awareness level surrounding legal/illegal jerseys with coaches all around the country. But for those teams whose coaches are dumb enough to ignore the rules and they get tagged for it, that's gotta hurt. I feel bad for the kids. But it's gotta be done.

As I read the rule, a T is assessed once per game for each uniform.
[WIAA -Wisconsin- wants one per team.]
I agree with the coach it's unfair to come back later with more. If you don't know the rule, eat it and play.
No numbers on the front has been a violation for a long time(?). If these aren't new unis, why were they allowed to play with them before?

By rule every illegal jersey is a technical foul. 2 shots for every starter and incoming substitute.
