What classification of foul? and pre-game Uniform rules.

Official calls a foul, team B inbound from the side.

After the game, as my team is warming up, I ask the officials why it was not called intentional foul as no play was made on the ball. The officials proceded to walk from me without answering, and about 2 minutes later, interupted our layup line to tell my players to tuck in their jerseys (shooting shirts still being worn on top of jersey, and a good 7 minutes before game time).

Would you guys have called an intentional or just a common foul? Are there rules about jerseys being tucked in during warmups?

Yes, I would have an intentional foul.

Yes, we require jerseys to be tucked during warm-ups.

Is "we" your state, or your crew? And what's the penalty for not?

BktBallRef is from North Carolina, so I believe he's confirming the previous poster's assertion that in North Carolina all jerseys have to be tucked in during warm ups.

In NC, we require kids to be properly equipped when they enter the floor. If they aren't, they correct/remove the offending item or they sit down.

Very interesting. Thanks.

No way I'm going to check any kid's equipment. There's laws against that.

Finally, someone has the guts to say what we are really doing during pre-game.
