A reminder for rookies: Technical fouls for illegal uniforms (including illegal numbers) are not charged to the team, but are charged directly to the head coach. If a team member participates as a player while wearing an illegal uniform, then a direct technical foul is charged to the head coach, who will lose the coaching box privilege for the remainder of the game. This infraction is penalized when discovered, and the team member with the illegal uniform may participate without further penalty and is not required to change the number. A maximum of one technical foul shall be charged directly to the head coach regardless of the number of offenders.

The teams wearing their uniforms as they were last night was ok'd as the game location change happened very last minute.

I found out about the game location change ten minutes before starting this thread.

It was a bit interesting that the hosting school team was wearing their away uniforms while the visitors were in their home uniforms.

Of course the games were supposed to be played at the visitors' school until the power outage happened.

For book & scoreboard purposes, the hosting school was the home team (although they were in their darks).

Apparently, from what CHSLadyEagle told me, they used to do a uniform switch midway through the season.
