Pretty much boils it down.
The rules currently do not allow for an optional shot clock, yet some states adopt it.
The rules say the jackets need to be black, yet I've seen crews wear white jackets.
The rules don't allow for the foul-tip signal, yet....
What's the NFHS manual say about side-panel shirts? Gray shirts? I don't know, to be honest, but it doesn't matter because they were allowed by my local association for the first time this year. Those working playoffs, however, have been instructed not to wear them.

With this stuff, it really comes down to what's acceptable to your supervisor.
