State finals illegal uniform redux

[falsecut]

Two officials spoke to the Tribune on the condition of anonymity.

"I thought North Lawndale got a raw deal,'' one referee said. "But we have to enforce the rule. I was aware of the uniform rule, but I know some refs didn't know about it.

This aggravates me on two levels. First, refs should shut up and not talk to the media. Second, I'd like to know which refs didn't know that there were rules for uniforms. Seems all we've done is talk about this for more than two years. You'd have to be in a coma to not know about the uniform rules, at least as a varsity official. And these are supposed to be our most knowledgeable guys.
