Interesting one

[BillyMac]

Prep school boys this past Saturday. My partner and I are watching warmups. I note three visitor players with illegal undershirts (wrong color). My partner notes two home players with illegal undershirts (wrong color). We instruct them to change their undershirts, and to do so outside the visual confines of the court.

Maybe the words that we used, i.e., visual confines of the court, were too difficult for prep school players to understand?

It is a really big gymnasium, three ninety-four foot courts, plenty of room outside the endlines and sidelines. Closest locker rooms are a hike and a half away from the court. Bleachers are not the type you can hide behind.

You guessed it, all five players go over to their benches, take of their jerseys, pull off their undershirts, and put their jerseys back on.

Forum members are certainly welcome to criticize us if you want, but we just looked the other way. Wasn't this rule implemented to keep players who foul out from showing contempt for the call by taking off their jersey and throwing it onto the bench?

And it's January. Why do these players think that they can wear any color undershirt that they happen grab out of their bureau drawer? The coaches told me in the pregame that their players were properly equipped. Do these coaches even know what that means? What have my colleagues been doing while watching warmup lines the past month? Of course, my colleagues can think the same thing about me when these players perform the Noxzema Shave Cream "Stripper" commercial in the future.

Man, that was some commercial. She was hot before hot meant hot.
