Oh Those Pesky Uniform Violations………

[derwil]

Actually had this happen in a boys varsity game (not mine but heard about it afterwards). Home team is under contract to wear a certain company's uniforms. This company was about to ship the white uni's when the warehouse and the contents burnt to the ground. Their visitor's uniforms shipped so they were able to wear black. They made arrangements with the other team to swap colors prior to the game date but did not inform the state office of the situation to get a waiver.

Referees at the game didn't call T's as this would have penalized the visiting coach for complying with the home team's request. The R reported the situation to the state office and asked for a recomendation. He also told the home coach to steal the JV uniforms until the V's came in.

Am I missing something? How does calling a T on the home team penalize the visiting team?

Couldn't T only the home team - Visitors were also non-compliant by wearing white when they are required to wear their away colors.

Guess you're right. Double foul. One team foul each to start the game, open the game with a jump ball (POI). Seems like the right way to go, but not a big deal either way.
