NFHS R3-S4-A3D: Each team member shall be numbered on the front and back of the team jersey with plain Arabic numerals. The following numbers are legal: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 00, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55. A team member list shall not have both numbers 0 and 00. NCAA Men's/Women's R1-S22-A7b(2): The following numbers are legal: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 00, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, and 55. Team rosters can include 0 or 00, but not both. The Rule in both NFHS and NCAA is quite clear: A team's roster in the Scorebook can have a player listed wearing 0 or 00 but the team cannot have two players listed with one wearing 0 and the second player wearing 00. What bothers me about the RULING for SITUATION 2(c) of the 2008-09 NFHS Basketball Rules Interpretations is that it contradicts what is stated in the rules. MTD, Sr. __________________
