Easy one in NFHS. Case book play 3.5SitA tells us that one criteria to be applied is that the equipment used is supposed to be appropriate for basketball. That's why we don't let players wear gloves for instance, which are specifically mentioned as a no-no in that case play. It's also why we wouldn't let 'em wear shoes as gloves either. Use the same thinking for NCAA- if there isn't already something in their rules already resembling the FED philosophy.

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. [/B][/QUOTE]
We were instructed in our meeting on Wednesday evening that the SWEAT bands can be worn wherever, but only one per limb.
