Pants above the knee; back pads exposed, et al. As a longtime Umpire I am used to the old-school way of being the uniform police. I agree, it gets frustrating to see the groundwork I do with the games/teams go completely undone the next week. This falls on the next man up, to continue enforcing the rules that the UIL/NCAA charge us with. Hell, if we can't be consistent in our own chapters, how in the hell can we expect it to be maintained state wide?
