Not sure we are ever going to get this under control. Maybe we need to lobby UIL to drop the exception

Watch all the so called 7 man crews around the state.  You will see things like this over and over.  It is indicative of a crew of 5 that has 2 guys added and not a  true 7 man crew.   Say what you want about Houston but I doubt if you watch a lot of their 7 man games you will see things like this that often.

Rule 1, Article 4, d
Knee Pads Knee pads must be at least 1/2-inch thick and must be covered by pants. It is strongly recommended that they cover the knees. No pads or protective equipment may be worn outside the pants.

Looks like the rule needs to change. As it stands now as long as they can cover the knee at some point it is okay.

The real problem, there is no teeth in trying to enforce that they cover their knees.  You ask over and over and over, and report them over and over, and nothing comes of it.

What I'd like to see is that the UIL tells us to start charging teams a time out any time we see this due to illegal equipment.  That would fix the issue very fast. 

Bottom line, if the coach signs the equipment card before the game, its on them, not us.

Your comment may reflect part of the problem. Our guys don't know the UIL exception.

EXCEPTION: 1-4-4-d. For UIL games, knee pads must cover the knee.


Although, I dont think 4th round of the playoffs is the time to start picking at this.

If the home chapter hasnt been enforcing it, 4th round of the playoffs is probably not the time to start.  :sTiR:

As a note, while we are pointing Uniform violations out:  Lancasters receivers played the entire game with their backpads out, with writing on them.  It was almost like they were playing with half shirts :)

They did cover the knee. Right before they pulled them halfway up their thigh!

   ;D
Which brings me to something mentioned earlier, i.e. "chapters not taking care of business". I personally can attest to a situation this year where the team came out in pregame with them pulled up like that.  they were told then they had to be down when the game started. And of course, they were not.  The crew made an issue out of it and they got pulled down. I checked with some other R's who had them earlier in the season. Surprise, surprise..the same thing had happened to them with the team!  So it is not always a matter of the Chapter not taking care of business.  Sometimes the kids (with coach and trainer consent or indifference) just do it every week because they know once in awhile they WILL get away with it.

Do players pull them up to look good or to gain a competitive advantage?

Many crews don't worry about these types of things as they fear they won't be selected by the coaches if they do.

On the other hand, it is ridiculous that UIL forces us to enforce this and doesn't do anything about it when we a) report it not happening or b) enforce it and the coach blackballs the crew or chapter.
