I have a question for coaches. Why not have your kids wear the right colors or no undershirt at all and you will not have to worry about what an official says or does not say? As a coach don't you control what your kids wear?

This is about thing 100 on my list of important things. If I see an undershirt that is illegal I will enforce the rule, but there are so many other things that are more important. I have never seen SportsCenter make an issue over the misapplication of a uniform rule.

Peace

I've never seen SportsCenter make an issue of anything in high school games. If that was my criterion....

You know ESPN runs high school basketball games?

True, but I've never seen them make an issue out of the officiating in HS games.

Other than last second shots in state tournament games.

I guess it is all relative. I have seen them dissect a play in high school not much different than they have in other games. Or comment on if the officials got a foul right or a rule right during the highlight.

And the point was not really about SportsCenter (I could have used High School Lites, but you would not have likely known what that was), it is the fact that no one comments about uniform issues in the media.

Peace

JRut - this would be great! Unfortunately, I personally haven't seen it applied yet.

It is my understanding that it is a requirement that a member of each school have a representative at our State's Mandatory Meeting annually - so they hear it each yr and it shouldn't be a surprise......
