JAR's area is different in a number of ways. I couldn't imagine going to any game (other than youth games on the weekend where I'm working 3-4 games) in uniform.

Everything's regional.

Belt is part of the uniform.

Probably would look more professional to arrive in a limo, but I have a 4 wheel drive truck. More often than not, it is muddy.

You don't have a driver?

In Milwaukee, I would dress nice and arrive an hour early with my clothes in a roller bag (so that's not a good example). :)

Sorry, sorry, couldn't help myself.

This is true. I just know if he did that here, he would not be working varsity by many assignors and he would be told much more harsh about that practice than we have ever said here.

Peace

Yeah, but Sansabelt slacks were very popular in the 1980's.:)

And if I were told that this was a requirement, I would adjust accordingly. But, as it is, I would be shocked to learn that my current assignor had ever spoken the word "belt" in a basketball discussion. As stated before, I have no problem with a dress code of any kind. I do have a problem with "A belt is not forbidden, but you won't get games if you wear one." And I have a really big problem with "A belt is not forbidden, but you won't get games if you wear one, and nobody will tell you that's the reason."

We tell our officials to wear camouflage so nobody can see 'em coming or going. Cuts down on incidents.

Dress nice in Milwaukee? A contradiction in terms.
