Frankly it seems like somebody just wants to be more like college, without really thinking about why. I think that many of the Women's Basketball/NBA Mechanics and rules are being pushed by those that work that game or have ties to that game. Just because they work in those settings does not mean it will work in the HS setting. I am so tired of other Women's basketball always trying to bring their crap to ever level. Peace

BillyMac Mark Padgett wroteNo, this is: It must be difficult to officiate with a suit jacket and tie? I hope that we stick to the black and white striped jersey, with the option of a whistle on a lanyard, here in Connecticut.
Mark Padgett I think there should be change in the uniform rule to this (not in boy's games, however) - the only problem is that we'd probably have a lot of over-the-back and reaching calls - against the officials!

You can't see it in the photo, but there's a whistle at the end of the tie, which doubles as a lanyard.
JoeTheRef fullor30 wroteCurious.......why switch to two hand reporting? We changed to 2 hand report several years ago. I think it looks better reporting with 2 hands JMO.

Mark Padgett Here's a memorial to the official that invented three hand reporting. Boy, could this guy hitchhike! 😛
