Lining Up at the Confessional

Hi, my name is . . .
I erred when, prior to a frosh game earlier this year, I compelled a player to remove his long-sleeve shirt from under his jersey.
When I got to the lockerroom at halftime I consulted the book and realized my error and I hereby promise not to do that again.
He did, however, look kinda ridiculous with a long sleeved shirt under his jersey. I think he played better without it. But after all, it wasn't my call to make.
There. I feel better.

You must work 9 straight middle school games on a Saturday for your sin!

I hope that he didn't remove his jersey within the visual confines of the playing area.

Maybe he did one of those nifty "take off the undergarment without taking off the shirt" trick.

I thought this thread was going to be about one of your partners wearing a long sleeved undershirt!

Years ago, there was a guy around where I worked that did actually wear a long sleeve football shirt to work a hoops game. I guess his one short sleeve was dirty.

There are reasons for the sleeves

I worked some AAU games last summer with a guy, new to our area, who wore a long sleeve undershirt. His reason was to cover the tats on his arms, that may have been offensive to some of the players or their parents.

Did he have a note from his doctor?
