This is certainly one rule in which I'm not going to nit-pick. It's one thing if somebody complains, but I'm not going to create a situation.

Some of the players in the game following mine, last night, had rolled down their waistbands. It seems to be the latest fad in the "look-at-me, I'm special" thought process . . .

Or could it be that the shorts were too long and rolling the waistband is the easiest way to make them a little shorter?

Only if the players involved are from the John Stockton era of short shorts.

Checked with a female colleague at the laboratory today who played high school basketball a few years ago. BEAREF is correct.

Well, if everyone is doing it, they are no longer special.

Someone did complain here once. The answer was roll them down one more roll. Problem solved.

It all depends on how your state / area interprets "properly" in 3-3-5 "A player not wearing the pants / skirt properly ... shall be directed to leave the game."
