Illegal Undershirts Prior to Start of Game

[RedKillian]

I'm surprised so many would let them go and change. The coach confirmed his players were legally equipped. Make him pay for his mistake, he won't make it again. Would you delay the game so a sub could go and change? Probably not, so why the starters?

Make him pay? Eh, I simply don't think that way. I'm there to manage a game.

Shrug.

Rich, how would you manage the sub with an illegal t-shirt? 4 minutes into the game, first sub for the team? Not at the end of the game and someone who never gets to play.

Different scenario -- I send him into the hall to change it. If there's a stoppage and it doesn't delay the game (for example, a timeout), I'll wait. If not, he can come in on the next dead ball.

Making the team change its STARTERS would delay the game more than sending the kids into the hall to remove the t-shirts.

I'm not so sure. Either way, you have to send three players into the locker room/hallway, so instead of waiting for them, why not expedite things by getting three players checked in and the game started? What's more, they'll be less likely to do it again, if you're not going to wait for them.

Don't let them in. Tell the coach he can't come in until the shirt is changed. Coach will send him to locker room and get it changed. I'm going to manage the game.
