I've sometimes wondered what would happen if I brought the Danish attitude into the dressing room when we have a mixed crew. My past experience is that guys get flipped out if it's a white sports bra. I also have them turn around when I put in my protector (during baseball season) because they are so easily embarrassed.

I just turn my back and do whatever needs to be done. If anyone says anything, I just say, "If you find this (gesture to self) interesting you've got bigger problems than my modesty."

T right away or do you talk to her coach? Or should that be the first move?

True story:

Youth league playoff game.

Kid wearing shorts this style - and leaving his undies showing. During a dead ball, Referee (I'm the Umpire) tells the kid to pull them up and the player complies (he was wearing shorts larger than he fit into). Continue on with the game, now in OT, same player receives a BC inbounds pass and R tells him again to pull the shorts up. He does, no problem. As soon as the player crosses half court, between dribbles, he pulls his shorts down again on purpose.

Whistle, Referee issues a T. I tried to see if a substitution was in order, but the final call was a T. :D
