When ANY player is wearing an undershirt, it must be the same color as the primary color of the uniform top. When ANY player is wearing compression shorts which extend below the uniform pant, they must be the same color as the uniform pant. The season is off to a good start. The number of technical foul reports is down, and both coaches and officials indicate games are progressing smoothly thus far. Listed below are some questions which have come up so far, and some things our evaluators have witnessed.
Jewelry is always illegal, unless worn for verified religious or medical reasons.
Coaches, you must inform your players of the jewelry rule. This includes anything hard and unyielding in the hair such as clips or barrettes. It is NOT permissible to tape over earrings or illegal hair-restraining devices to make them legal. Continue to work with timers in holding substitutes who have not completed reporting into the game. It seems substitution procedures are handled better game by game, but we still have a ways to go.
