Not only are you strongly discouraged to wear a belt, you might not get hired or get fired if you wear a belt. It is that simple. The state has nearly 6000 officials, they do not care what officials do at all levels, but they certainly do not hire official at all for regular season games. And there are no association that do any assigning (like around the country) and the IHSA is not going to give a darn what people wear in a freshman B game in a small town.

Great advice if I plan to move to Illinois (or any other state) but I don't, so I'll just do what is expected of me in Connecticut as long as I officiate here. If they change the uniform guidelines in Connecticut, you'll be the first to know, followed by me purchasing beltless pants.

Cool

I am working on designing a special message filter for any text string containing "belt" or "belts" for this forum.

Then why did you even mention what Illinois had written down? We know you are not moving.

Billy and Jeff!!

Boys!! Lets play nice!

This thread was supposed to be another one of my light hearted threads because when it comes to rules discussions I can be a very difficult person to deal with when I am correct, ; even when I am incorrect about being incorrect, .

MTD, Sr.

P.S. I don't want to have to report the two of you to Santa so close to Christmas.
