I.e. Coach tells you 56 is eligible and you then tell the defense instead of making him change a Jersey?, junior high, jv, peewee? what's you're opinion

We never allow this. Rec ball, middle school or JV, we always require the correct numbering. Teams have a jersey for every kid. Give eligible numbers to backs and receivers and 50-70 toi linemen. Tell coaches it has to be done and they'll do it.
