Actually, I don't care what those people think and they know it because I've made that clear to them.

Thus wonderful freedom is enjoyed.

Freedom is great, but I like my officiating schedule.

[JoeTheRef]

Wreck ball yes. College or high school, shoot even middle school, a big NO. I'm with Scrap, I value my officiating schedule to much.

I'd compromise and wear the hats onto the court, but take them off prior to game start. Running up and down the court w/ them would look somewhat foolish....is there a ruling against officials wearing something not regulation?

The FED lays out the basic uniform in rule 2-1-1. Most states/associations lay out an explicit dress code for their officials. Violations of those dress codes would be addressed by the individual state/association also.

Pre game or all game... a santa hat will definatly make it difficult to do your job....

That all sounds great, but when you work for people and you want to continue to work for people, you do what they ask or you do not work. And I like the freedom of working where I want to instead of having to work for one or two people with no other options.

Also since this would likely fall under regulations with our state, if you get suspended for being out of uniform, then you might not be able to work any HS games at all.

Just like the freedom we have in this country, it comes with a cost.

I think that as long as they don't have logos, you're OK.

[chartrusepengui]

Bad idea - coaches/players are gonna expect PRESENTS!

From Mark Padgett: "I think that as long as they don't have logos, you're OK"

Great line Mark Padgett.
