Had a partner on a soph boys game when I first started who had what he thought was perfect solution for new shirts. He had his wife cut off the 'byron' on his shirt. It looked like a Nehru jacket.

Same guy who as we are going to other end to shoot 1 and 1 with players lined up and shooter misses first one with subsequent rebound, now we have a whistle. He informs me that he called a tech at other end but didn't tell me.

The good old days!

In my neck of the woods, 3 different shirts can be found.

1. B/W stripes. Both with and without the side panel.

2. Solid grey No pin stripes.

3. The Fiba shirt- black sleeves, grey body.

The FIBA shirt is by far the most comfortable shirt I've ever had.

Often, the big timing is the whole package...shirt, pre-game with college references, talk of the games they just did or will do at the college level, an NCAA logo on their travel bag [understood as those are not as inexpensive as a shirt--which should be covered by a big time game fee], the mechanics used [particularly on time out signals and when inbounding], etc.

I'm assuming you mean the lack of a signal to stop the clock?

This is the second time someone has gone from comparing the colors/patterns of a shirt to claiming that one was more comfortable....as if the colors/patterns have something to do with the comfort. :confused::confused:

It's the material the shirt of the particular colour happens to be made out of.
