Pet Peeve: Sticky Mats
So this is a pet peeve of mine. When working NCAA games we have been instructed to move the sticky mats away from the "X" at the division line to abide rule 1-17:

My question is: Why do these guys not move these mats!? Like I said earlier, if you've seen the video on the Central Hub, you would want them moved for your safety! /end rant |

I guess the question I have for you is, who is "we?"
I have never heard anyone make that kind of proclamation that these things must be moved or else. As a matter of fact I cannot think of anything being specifically mentioned. Peace

"We" is officials in general... Yes, in the rule home management is responsible for ensuring the 3-foot boundary on the sideline is of consistent finish. However, if they don't apply the rule, the officials have to adhere to the rule (i.e. moving the mats).
Have you not seen the video JRut? Its ugly... |

Sticky subject...
Here's what we received in NCAAW. I'm guessing NCAAM received the same thing?

Really...another thing we are now in charge of? Are they matching in color too?

I have never seen that video before. Was that posted on the Men's hub because by the voice on the video that's a NCAA-W's video.

I think its just another reason why they need to split the rule books up. Its obviously not getting followed the same way on the two sides... Its not a problem at any of my games either because I have it moved before the game begins... |

I haven't seen them other than at AAU tournaments. They are really quite useless anyway, because the dust will stick to the sneaker and traction will not be improved for very long. Just another way to suck money out of people for a product that is not needed. (See arm sleeves).
