What cracks me up is that these are people who are being paid (at least in my area) to be the scorers and yet they expect the schools to buy their shirts.

When will someone buy my shirts?

Worked a JH Girls Sectional final last week. The official scorer had on the stripes!
So did the timekeeper. [facepalm]

Before I made the decision to officiate starting this winter, I had bought a striped shirt for the new rule change... Was the only person in all of our MS games to wear one this fall.

I can't remember if NCAA recommends the timer to wear stripes, but I do seem to recall a number of colleges where the scorer, timer, and maybe shot clock operator wore striped shirts.

Edited to add: We received a statement at tonight's association meeting. For the varsity level, they definitely want the table reminded of the rule, along with notifying the assignor and host AD about the lack of shirt. For sub-varsity, notifying the assignor/AD is not necessary, but it sounds like you can still make the reminder if you really want to do something.
