Convo 3/3 7:15PM Whiteoak vs Waterford

[baseball16]

I know in baseball the umpire asks if everyone is properly equipped and legal? As a coach, I would have to say yes. If a player after that was not properly equipped the player could be removed or ejected. It was on me as coach to make sure. All I am saying is coaches know what is legal and what is not legal. As for color of uniforms, I understand white as home but when the colors are that far apart, come on man! Should not be that big of an issue. But like Ive heard all my life " Rules are Rules! "

Whiteoak was considered the home team (Top team on the Bracket). Home team is required to wear White Uniforms (OHSAA, NFHS rule). They were wearing Orange. Not sure what else transpired from there but neither team changed. So it was Orange vs. Green. However, State looked into it. Again, I am not sure exactly what happened. Just hear Say. I do know one team has to wear white. Again, Refs are suppose to enforce rules that should be enforced by Coaches and their Schools. Start holding them accountable for not having their kids in correct regulations of uniforms. Refs have enough to deal with! JMO

Hasn’t OHSAA/NFHS since allowed for gray to be worn as a home color?

No....gray can only be away and has to be 70% shaded toward black

If Whiteoak brought all 3 jerseys, why wouldn't they be wearing their whites?

Waterford was correct in bringing their green/away jerseys.

Seems to be some type of information is missing here.

Whiteoak players brought all 3 jerseys

I believe you.... but can you clarify where the problem was here?

Lol not really. One team green, one team orange. Didn’t affect anything that I saw. Silly the ref was punished.

[Ed Ott]

Who cares. Green and Orange? Whiteoak is orange? WTH?

Sounds like like from the high seats at the Convo it probably looked like the bad skittles spilled out onto the court.

To take away tournament games from an official with 20+ years experience over this is crazy. I typically don’t cut officials much slack, but this makes no sense
