The point I am making is the same issue that made these things illegal in football (for the past couple years in my state) now has been clarified legal. The reason we were given is they are legal because they were made for that purpose. Now I agree that the NF Basketball Committee has explained it better. That does not mean there will not be a ruling that clarifies what is "decorative" means? I have no idea what the answer will be. There are bands made for the purposes to wear them above the elbow. I know this will be something I will ask the first rules meeting we have. A bicep band is not a sweatband. It is not uncommon for areas to decide how these things will be handled.
