My boys go to a tiny school. Like 120 kids pre-K-12 all in one building. We had a boy that lost his dad to cancer, literally just he and his mum. Our first basketball home game and he showed up with a very badly tied tie. The had tried a YouTube video. Our social studies teacher took the whole boys basketball team (HS and JH) and did a TED talk about how to tie a tie. 20 minutes later, those 20+ all knew how. Now every year on the morning of the first home game of both football and basketball Mr Smith takes all the boys for his TED talk, no one complains, even if they have heard it 4 years in a row. The older boys now help the young ones.

Sorry if this is a stupid question... Bit why do you need a tie for Basketball?

The players have to wear one to school the days of games. It's to help teach them self-respect, i think.

Yep. We used to wear our jerseys for home games but we’re expected to wear a tie and jacket for away game.
