In my part of the world sub-varsity is about getting kids on the court. Often there are different uniforms, possibly 2 number 5's etc. As long as the coach explains what is happening there should be a little slack.

I am not saying that I would pass on playing rules, etc but fashion police can take a back seat for common sense.

And in Ranjo's game the JV coach had no problem with accepting the consequences of his actions. It only became a problem when the Varsity coach stuck his nose in where it didn't belong.

Besides what advantage did the coach gain?
In Ranjo's world JV basketball is very well organized and they are expected to follow the same rules as varsity. The VHSL does however allow an exception for the "home team must wear white" rule.

And when a coach changes his starters after the 10 minute mark we are now suppose to let it go if he is doing it to "send his team a message"?

What is the intent of the rule?

I think it to stop coaches from making changes on starters up to the start of the game. A coach would be looking to find the best match ups. The rule also eliminates confusion at the table to start the game.

Again it maybe different parts of the country but here there is a big difference between varsity and sub-varsity.

Just to add a note, a few of our AAA JV boys teams are playing above the rim. When you throw it up, be prepared to run hard for 32 minutes. I would never turn back one of the JV boys games in our area.

Some of the bigger schools around here do, and especially during tournaments.

Here in SC, it's 6-minute for everything but varsity. I actually miss that about Kansas, where all HS games were 8-minute, and MS were 6-minute. Six-minute games just seem so, well, short...

8 minutes around here, too.
And while I might give them an extra minute or so, if he changes starters right before tip, that's an easy call.
