When I let the floor officials know of the uniform or other thing I notice, I wait until a dead ball or a reporting occurs. If that player is subbed for, I let the book know that their coach needs to let that player know of their jersey. I wish I had access to the case book & rule book, unfortunately I do not.

Well, not to sound rude, but if it were my game after the first time I would ask you to refrain from such activity.

I'd offer to allow him more time to spend on crowd control.

An unsafe item (like metal hair pins) is one thing - I'm not sure I'm all about a scorer/timer noting that, but to each their own.

But noting an untucked shirt - simply out of line. I wouldn't appreciate it. In fact, I'd likely tell you where to put your observation. And I'd guess most officials telling you they appreciate your noting something like that are simply being nice/tolerant.

I think it was you that mentioned in another thread that you keep a copy of the duties of the scorer and timer at the table. I'd stick to those duties.

chseagle, I've gotta ask. Is there a reason why you do no become an official yourself? You seem to be starved for more responsibility/authority/power.

I would like to be a floor official, however I am unsure if my health will allow me.

Also right now, I do not have reliable transportation to attend training & meetings or assignments.

Yet you find a way to get to games and do crowd control and provide warnings of untucked jerseys. Interesting.

I hate it when they say that. It make those officials who worked the earlier games look like they either didn't know the rules, or didn't care to enforce the rules, and it makes it look like I'm being "overly officious".

1. I never believe the coach when they say this.
2. The coach should know better and control what his players wear. I hate that they way for us to actually enforce it.
3. I find it equally disconcerting that the officials let her cover it with tape and play.

The floor officials didn't believe the coach either.

Concerning the taping of the head, the larger hair pins & the hair clips were pulled out of the hair. THe only areas taped over was were the smaller hair pins were located. The floor officials checked the taping to make sure there was no chance of injury before she was allowed back on the floor as a player.

Anyone else reminded of a 1930's newspaper headline by this thread's title?

Your IQ must be at least double mine. And a few people consider me to be smart. Of course those are the people that others consider not to be smart. I bet Mark T. DeNucci, Sr. remembers the headline. Back then he didn't even have to wear reading glasses.

Watching a B13/15 Rec League boy in warmups this morning and notice he has a wire at his ear. I call him over to tell him to remove it. Coach tells me he's deaf and needs it to hear.

So, coach, me, and boy go to talk to dad. Dad demonstrates that the wire is connected to a disk that connects directly to the boys head and disconnects when barely touched and he demonstrates it....me -

I ask, can he play without it? He says yes, he just can't hear anything. Wow! I talk to the league commissioner and dad and tell them I will not be responsible for anything that happens if they decide to leave it in. They agree and it wasn't an issue at all.

He's not a "special needs" player, but this was certainly a first for me.

Still shouldn't have been allowed.
