Taped out number

Here: JV: Allow it.

YMMV.

I would allow it, especially in a jv game.

Precisely. Had it last night. Visiting coach asked about it, told him it was ok. Went to the home coach to let him know, and he laughed as he said they had one too.

I had never seen a taped number in 3.3 years of HS so I didnt know it is something we ignored at the sub-varsity level. It seems so rec league'ish so I thought it was unacceptable. Apparently I am over zealous.

In Utah, the directive from the UHSAA is to allow it in sub varsity games.

You are being over zealous.

'round here, we let it go, except in a varsity game.

Most of the bigger schools will have 4 or 5 basketball squads: 9B, 9A, B-squad (10th grade), JV, and Varsity. It's not uncommon for a player to play up one level or down one level for half of one game... so a JV player plays the 1 half of the B-squad game, and both halves of the JV game. At the same time, you might have a 9A player playing half of the B-squad game. So if the 9A player, the JV player, and a regular B-squad player all have #24...

It happens. Coaches are usually pretty good about letting us know about it in advance. As long as I have some way to differentiate players for foul-reporting purposes, I'm ok with it also.

When I was in Montana not only would they allow this but sometimes at the JV level you would have 3 different colors of uniforms on the floor at one time. There were times where...and we will use a green, white and gold school for example...you would have a varsity swing player in their away gold uniform playing next to a JV player in their away green jersey. I used to get a headache every time...

BigT, that would be a different technical foul in regards to the question at the end of your original post.

You could always tell the coach they have to play shirts and skins. Oh wait - it's a girls game. Never mind.

What if a JV player had an illegal number? ex: 9
Let it go???
