Folks,
One of my games yesterday in 4 game set included one ladies game where one player had braids and beads in her long hair. Game management had issue with the beads where worried that could hit somebody. My partner (experienced and wise lady that she is), told coach to simply wrap beads w/trainers tape and let's play on. Good call by her-no issues during the game, but now I'm wondering-is there another way to handle this on the court? Don't have rulebook handy-sorry. Gave to my son, who is starting to call this year. He left at school over the holidays.
Chris, it wasn't "a good call by her." Under no circumstances do you allow the player to play with the beads. It's against the rules and it places you at great liablilty to allow the player to play with them.
