That makes sense now. Refs are only required to enforce that the front of the jersey to be tucked in .

This is incorrect. The players are not supposed to be in the game at all if their shirts are not tucked in ALL THE WAY AROUND. If they are waiting at the table to check in, they are or suposed to not be allowed in the game. The problem is with the coach first of all not making them do it, and 2nd the officials are not wanting to pick this battle to fight, but when they don't they are not enforcing the rules. Because it is supposed to be tucked at all times, yes there are times when playing hard it comes out and that is fine, but during a dead ball or free throw, they are asked to tuck it back or that is how it should be. It is a rule and is only enforced by a few, if everyone would get on the same page with the rules, this would be a dead issue! I know coaches and officials do not like playing fashion police, but there are rules and they should have to abide by them.
