First of all, he didn't say anyone. He said his experience has shown a correlation between the two groups.

Second, it's a regional thing. Those officials who work at gyms without adequate changing rooms are stuck; this could vary as much by area as it does by level. 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.

Personally I dress "professionally" to go to games, meaning what I would wear to work...that said I worked a BV game this season with a guy who showed up in sweatpants, sweatshirt, hat, mlb team jacket, torn up tennis shoes all "well worn"...pulls his jumbled uniform out of a bag to reveal a "state finals official" patch on his shirt..slicks his hair back and ready to go...the guy called a hell of a game and had the utmost respect from both coaches, not a call questioned outwardly all night...I guess the lesson is once you reach that level wear whatever you want!
