Interesting situations
« on: October 23, 2018, 03:10:54 PM »
We had two interesting/ odd situations this past Friday.  I'd like your thoughts on how you would handle, or NOT handle them.  I thought our responses were reasonable and legitimate, but I'd rather not share what we did until I get some feedback.
We had a steady light rain falling at kickoff.
1.  Visiting team's coach is complaining that The home team has number 5 playing tackle.  We finally realize that it was number 57, but the '7' had peeled off of the front of his jersey.  This was only the beginning.  Numbers began peeling off the home team's jerseys frequently.  Thank goodness the coach changed jerseys at halftime. 
2.  Visiting coach also complained that the home team was stealing their towels. 

THANKS!

1 - the team has to correct this issue. Luckily, it sounds like they were able to. We’ve made numerous exceptions for youth teams, but HS has to have legal jerseys and legal numbering.

2 - “not an issue that the officials can help with Coach.”
