1)
Casebook Play 3.5SitB:-- The officials are on the court prior to the game observing the team warm-up. One official notices that a member of team A is wearing a decorative necklace.
RULING: The official should inform the team member to remove the jewelry immdeiately. Upon compliance, the team member may continue to warm up with his or her teammates and may start the game without penalty.
2)
Rule 3-5-1-- "The referee shall not permit any team member to wear equipment or apparel which in his/her judgement is
dangerous or confusing to other players or
is not appropriate.
Excepts from case book play 3.5SitA--
- There are three criteria which determine the legality of of equipment. First, any equipment which, in the judgement of the referee, is dangerous to others".
- "Equipment which could cut or cause an opponent to have an abrasion is also always illegal and therefore is prohibited.
- "The third criterion provides that the equipment used must be appropriate for basketball and not be confusing."
Note that these apply to high school games. What you see in an NCAA game should never be equated to high school rulings. There's just too many differences.
