Good Advice, Except For Lion Feeding ...
Quote:
The New Dictionary of Cultural Literacy, Third Edition. 2002 When visiting a foreign land, follow the customs of those who live in it. It can also mean that when you are in an unfamiliar situation, you should follow the lead of those who know the ropes. The proverb is often attributed to Saint Ambrose, whose advice to Saint Augustine read: "Si fueris Romae, Romano vivito more; si fueris alibi, vivito sicut ibi" ('When you are in Rome live in the Roman style; when you are elsewhere live as they live elsewhere'). St. Ambrose, quoted in St. Augustine Letters, "quando hic sum, non ieiuno sabbato; quando Romae sum, ieiuno sabbato", "when I am here i.e. Milan, I do not fast on Saturday; when I am in Rome, I fast on Saturday". Also: "Whan tho herd hat Rome Do so of ther the dome" (when you are at Rome do as they do there). (Modern Philology (1940)) "That which is commonly in euery mans mouth in England Whan you art at Rome, do as they do at Rome". (1552 R. Taverner) "My advice to you is among the Romans, do as the romans do". (1766 in L. H. Butterfield) "Do at Rome as the Romans do,’ is the essence of all politeness". (1836 E. Howard Rattlin the Reefer) ‘I thought the English never bothered about protocol?’ ‘When in Rome, however, we do as the Romans do.’ (1960 N. Mitford Don't tell Alfred) "One woman stationed there (Saudi Arabia) who purports to be comfortable with the rules said, ‘When in Rome, do as the Romans do.’ But how far does that go? To feeding the lions?" (2001 Washington Post 8 Dec.)

We always have someplace to go, most often a coach's office.

I would never come dressed in my uniform. They are going to give me an office or something private. If this cannot happen, then I will not work there. And considering all the rain, snow and other weather, how can you keep your uniform clean when you have crap all over it in the first place?
Peace

And Dirty Rain Too ...
Don't they have a motto in the "Land Of Lincoln", "Get dirty snow on you early, get dirty snow on you often."?

Common sense would have you not be dressed in your uniform prior to arrival. Many end up eating or drinking on the way to the game and spilling food on your uniform would not be a good way to show up at game sites. And with all of the crazies out there, being dressed in your uniform on the way out to your car is not a good idea. The only exception I can think of is if your day job is at Foot Locker and you go straight from work to the game site.
Guys who show up dressed for the game are generally viewed as guys who will spend as little time as possible there and grab their checks and go. That seems to be the common view and there must be a reason for it. That said, showing up to do a bunch of AAU games usually has a different protocol.

I see this like belted pants. 90% of the areas, it's a no-no. In some areas, it's the norm. If it's the norm, do it. If it's against the norm, don't do it if you want to move up.
