It might be over-reaching in basketball,but I don't think that it is for contact sports. I "googled" this under "concussion reduction through the use of mouthgaurds",and found a whole bunch of reports on-line.They are pretty well unanimous in agreeing that mouthguard usage in contact sports is recommended,and that the chance of concussions occurring will be lessened through the usage of them.
