Regular season, I'd agree. But in the playoffs here, each official wears thier association's jacket, whatever that is. If you didn't know what each association wears, it would be easy to think some guy was wearing his CCA jacket when it was just his HS jacket.

The CCA jackets say CCA on them...it ain't that hard to tell them apart.

There is no justification for wearing a collegiate jacket at a HS game. Not in the playoffs, not in the regular season, not in a scrimmage. None. Zero.

C'mon ref3808. Don't be so wishy washy. Tell us what you really think.

I don't know that I agree with this, but I do know how it comes across.

It is just a jacket. If the HS association elects to use it, what is wrong with it...particularly since it can be obtained without the CCA logo.

Is the issue at hand here the jacket or the patch on the jacket (because all the jackets seem the same to me with the only difference being the patch).

Like I said earlier it's only big timing IMO if he acts like it.

Another thing that's local. Around here I wouldn't even think of wearing my CCA jacket. It's an indicator of someone trying to big-time. So is wearing wide panels for a HS game.

(Not to mention both are specifically forbidden in HS games by the state office.)

Agreed.

Our Association told our guys to "knock it off."

And, as has been mentioned, if someone brings the "wrong jacket," we would treat it just as if someone forgot it. None of us would take the court with jackets.

Rich,

Down here, wide panels are allowed IF everyone matches. CCA jackets are allowed to be worn IF everybody has one. If you purchase a jacket, you need to purchase a CCA jacket. So, big timing doesn't become what you are wearing. However, big timing is expressed through the use of TV style mechanics. They are condoned and encouraged.

You guys really can't wear the side panel shirts? For the last 2 years that is all we have worn, I don't think I have seen a guy without one in the last 2 years.
