No. I could care less about all of the uniform/dress code rules. Just have the uniforms the same colors for every team member and throw a ball out there.

So you don't enforce any of the NFHS rules regarding uniforms, and equipment? Red undershirt under a blue uniform? Man, I'm glad that I don't have the next game after you with that team. Ever play kick the can?

So you didn't enforce the legging rule? (or wouldn't enforce the ribbon rule?) Man, I'm glad I don't have the next game after you with that team.

What part of "From Now On, No More Tights" did you not understand?

Also, it's pretty big stretch to go from some hesitation regarding a specific part of the uniform, and equipment, rules to ignoring all of the uniform, and equipment rules.

I'm allowing a player to use a cloth band, otherwise known as a ribbon, that happens to be tied in a bow, to control her hair. I am not allowing her to use the ribbon, tied in a bow, to decorate her hair.

Pray tell, exactly what part of the "ribbon rule" am I not enforcing?

So is it memory or reading comprehension that is first to go?

Exactly. I'm not going to go looking for uniform issues but if they're there I have to deal with them. I hate hearing "no one said this to us all season." Granted, sometimes they're lying but not all of the time.

If one of my brethren isn't going to enforce the "little stuff," I get worried about the big stuff such as keeping control of coaches.

Isn't that one of our many responsibilities while we're observng the teams warming up?

What I find in our area is that almost all teams have a warm-up on that totally covers the uniform. Can check for head bands and hair control devises but no chance to check tee shirts, wrist bands, shooting sleeves.

You're right. This past weekend, we didn't note different color arm compression sleeves until after several players removed their warmup jackets and came off the bench to enter the game.

I hate it when that happens. Strip searches before the game? Use one of those X-Ray devices used by those Transportation Security Administration agents?

I didn't say I didn't enforce the rules as they are, or have my kids abide by them, but I just don't care for all the rules about what kids can or can't have, nor do I want more. Personally, I don't care if a kid has a red undershirt under a blue uniform. I won't allow it due to the current rules, but the original posting was in reference to bringing up sock rules to the Federation. And my reply was that I could care less about new rules regarding uniform restrictions. I am sorry for your lack of comprehension, but don't give up. Reading is FUNdamental!

What about for girls teams who don't wear an under shirt but they have a lime green sports bra on? What is the rule for that?

Don't even think about going there with bra color...ever. Even the most strict uniform enforcer will tell you that you should NEVER go there.

Oh I wouldn't, trust you me. Just wondering if anybody had a rules interp. Haven't noticed one in the rule book, probably for good reason.

Well, if you are going to be that way about it, then let's start with a grammar lesson for you.

Couldn't Care Less or Could Care Less - Grammatical Jeopardy

Using the phrase “could care less” actually means that one does, in fact, possess a measurable level of caring, concern or interest of a given situation and is contradictory to the context in which that phrase is commonly used. The use of “could care less”, in fact, expresses that one does care, have an interest, or a level of concern about a topic or situation.
Attempting to convey a position that one has no interest or concern would require the use of the phrase “couldn’t care less”, which indicates a state of mind completely devoid of caring, interest or concern. If one cannot care less, the indication is a level at which one could not possibly care less because he/she already does not care at all.
Incorrect usage: “I could care less what he thinks…” – meaning one does care and possesses a measurable level of caring from which feeling could be subtracted.
Correct usage: “I couldn’t care less what he thinks…” – meaning one does not care at all and thus it would be impossible to care any less or subtract feeling where none exists.
