NFHS 3-4-1c "The torso color shall be white for the home team and a contrasting dark color for the visiting team."

NFHS 10-5-4 "The head coach shall not permit a team member to participate while wearing an illegal uniform (see 3-4)."
PENALTY: (Section 5) Two free throws plus ball for division-line throw-in. The foul is charged directly to the head coach. (Art. 4) Penalized when discovered. Only one technical foul is charged regardless of the number of offenders.

That work for you?

Ohio also allows for a letter from the OHSAA allowing the variance on uniforms. With FAX machines and E-Mails, there should be no reason the AD would be caught short on this. We had this issue last year in the first game. The home team's uniforms were on "backorder" and didn't come prior to the first game. They used the previous year road jersey and asked the visitors to bring their home uni's.

The visiting coach actually asked for a T on the Home Coach. We didn't grant it as the letter was produced from the state.

Did the visitors bring their home unis? If so, it would have been fun to call the T on both, cancel the shots, and sit them both down.

Hmmm, the home team is in a bind and makes the appropriate arrangements to solve the problem, including notifying the state office and obtaining a letter authorizing the variance. Knowing the bind the home team is in, the visiting coach then asks for a T on the home coach at game time? Are you kidding me?

If the letter from the state didn't specifically grant permission for the visiting team to wear white, I may very well T the visiting coach. Ostensibly for fielding a team with illegal uniforms, but actually just for being such a jerk.
