Use the same thinking for NCAA- if there isn't already something in their rules already resembling the FED philosophy. [/B][/QUOTE]

Can this be applied to situations where HS players are wearing the wristbands up on their biceps or even on their legs? Do you ignore this or address it? [/B][/QUOTE]Use rule 3-5-3 for that one. It sez "Equipment shall not be modified from it's original manufactured state and shall be worn in the manner the manufacturer intended it to be worn". Iow, wristbands go on wrists, headbands go on heads, etc. We instruct our officials to call it that way too.
