Uniform T in 1-point state semifinal loss

[JRutledge]

Ironically one of the officials on this game used to post here but no longer does.

Secondly, state officials (not the ones on the floor) were told to give a T and that they would take the heat for the rule enforcement. The state final officials have to attend a meeting with the IHSA before the games and they are given many instructions on what is acceptable or what is not acceptable.

Finally, I would not have even noticed this was a rules violation and frankly would not have cared. There are not many examples given for what an illegal uniform looks like as it relates to stripes. The team was told to change their uniforms or they would be penalized. This is like worrying about the color of an undershirt and if the right shade fits the uniform color. You do not go around nitpicking something that has little or nothing to do with playing the game. I do not believe most officials would be aware of this violation and it had to be pointed out to many people why it was illegal.
