I officiated at the Horizon League HJ's 2 days ago, and I feel a need to relate this:
These pink, heavy, round crossbars, with the light green sleeves on the ends to provide a flat bottom, are too forgiving !
I had one guy that hit the bar quite hard. It bounced up and down and around like crazy, finally settled, and then and only then did I call a fair clearance. On close examination, at one end, the flat part of the sleeve was 80 % out in the air ! It was skewed in the other direction at the other end , about 50% on , 50% off.
Hey, I love HJ'ers and I am glad the guy made the height, but still....
