The New Look For ITA Officials

Myron Krueger & Randy McDonald

Well, the new look was unveiled this weekend at tournaments in Dallas (SMU) and Waco (Baylor). The coaches and players all loved them--and they especially loved the black shoes with silver highlights...

Myron and I wanted to take a moment and model the new look for you. Be careful about your comments though because everything makes a circle...

BTW, you can get the black belt for $4.99 at Academy! The shoes you will have to find on your own.

Hello,

Very nice outfits; hope that dark shirt does not roast oncourt officials in 90+ degree temps.

You recently posted info on pay scales for USTA and ITA officials, and could you post how many officials are hired at that rate?

Do you chair all ITA matches, and have a minimum 6 officials or 7 if referee is not an oncourt official for the dual match?

Thanks.

Sorry you feel that way but there are other schools besides Baylor that use green as their school colors. Personally, if I had my way they would have been burnt orange!

We were originally going with red but some raised a ruckus and demanded a neutral color and green is neutral. No matter what color we chose it would have been some school's color.

Every coach and player up here in Dallas commented on how much they liked the whole look.

I'm trying to figure out who's who in the picture. Is it:
Frick & Frack.
Tom & Jerry.
Jake & Elwood.
Spot & Fido.
Beavis & Butthead.
Cain & Abel.
Hassan & Hussein.
Penn & Teller.
Amos & Andy.
Ying & Yang.
Tic & Tac.
Mario & Luigi.
Tutti & Fruiti
Slice & Dice.

Oh, I got it now:
Dumb & Dumber.

I like Beavis and Butthead the best but Myron would have to be the Butthead...

Dumb and dumber is probably best though. It fits us most days...

Anon, now that's funny. Looks like any pair would fit!!

And what about those cargo pants??

I can live with the green, but please no black shoes and socks with khaki. Growing up we used to laugh at old geezers in khaki shorts, lily white legs and black dress socks and shoes. Somebody please rescind their Fashion License.

Personally I never thought I would wear black shoes and socks with khaki pants but the players really commented about how good it looked. Just look at how many of the players wear black shoes and socks so you know they like the look.

What do you think about having black shirts for the referees????

One comment on players with dark shoes. Sure makes calling foot faults a whole lot easier.

Why Baylor green for the shirts?
With the intense competitive arena between the three major universities, why add salt to the wounds?

A&M coaches are very disappointed.

A&M coaches whine about everything, especially the women's coach.

They should just line up, kick some butt or take a licking and then go home and wait for the next match.
