Playoff Prep

[Bad Zebra]

Our state assn. sent out an email to all local assns. a week ago emphasizing...of all things...uniform and equipment rules. Specifically, undershirts, leg sleeves, and tights. Their concern is that schools will be going into state tournament play with illegal items.

Regional Girls play is underway. Boys begin next Thursday. Nice to know they're focused on the important things.

I say good for your state assn. 1. It heads off problems later in the tournament if it gets dealt with in the first playoff games and 2. I've always thought that if the an official can't get the non-judgment items right in which all he has to do is look at the color of an item, I'm not going to have much confidence in his other rules knowledge or his attention to detail.

Some local boards may interpret equipment rules (undershirt, headbands, wristbands, sleeves) differently, so as teams start dealing with new officials, and new interpretations, it's good to get everybody together on the same page.
