"I can't understand why they didn't tell us before about the uniforms," he told the paper. "This is the most painful loss I've had since I've been coaching."

i call bullshit on not being told before. I have officiated high school sports in two states for 7 years. between the two sports i ref, i would estimate that i mention to coaches some part of their uniform being illegal once a year for each sport. their typical reply is the same as this one. i always show them the rule book and say that the other officials weren't doing their jobs then. i don't really care, it doesn't affect my game. i would hate to have it cost them come tournament time like this team if a team gets called on it and i officiated them earlier in the year.

mvscal doesn't care, they all look the same when your staring at the taint of some high school black baller.

"This is the most painful loss I've had since I've been coaching."

Yeah, so painful that you sent your team out ... the very next DAY, in the same damn uni's.

LOL


North Lawndale wore the same uniforms in its third-place game against Leo the next day and again was assessed a technical foul. As before, the team fell behind 1-0 before tipoff, but this time it won, 91-77.

Currently working high school softball and football (40th season coming up) I can attest to the lameness of some of the uniform rules. Looking at the photo of the team's unis, I don't see how a scorer or ref could not tell what number the player was wearing. I believe many of these rules were thought up after a few too many martinis at the rules committee's lunch.
