Around here, I would never consider going to a hs game in uniform. On top of that, the assigner sent an email out to everyone recently reminding them as much.

Other areas may not view this as nearly as big a deal; and it may be the norm to show up to even a varsity game with the uniform on.
His word were thoes who do show up dressed down ARE the same ones who bla bla. Sounds like a blanket statement to me. I would try to avoid thoes since u are speaking to such a varied group in varied locations. Just me. Thats all I was getting at. I think u should dress the part also, nice pants and shirt, good shoes. What looks more profesional than your uniform however. Hard to look better than u do an the court unless u don't like the threads. I'm just ranting. Not much sleep since child #3 came out on Monday

And I stick by my statement - based on my experience I believe there is a correlation .

Congrats on your new arrival!! Good luck!

Well maybe someday we can work together and I'll come dressed down and help change your mind a little. Just a little. This is daughter #3 so I will need the luck. Thanks. Someone has to have girls otherwise where would we be. (I know that's a can of worms)

I think he's right. My experience has also shown a correlation.

Congratulations.
