Knee Brace

I did a game a couple of night ago where a player was wearing a knee brace nothing wrong with wearing the brace just that the hinges were exposed and not cover. I asked the player and coach if she had a sleeve for the brace she stated NO!! I then informed coach and player she cannot play without the sleeve.

Coach: Why she cannot play she has been wearing it 21 games without anyone saying anything?

Me: Can't do anything about the other 21 games but tonight she cannot play without a sleeve.

The player played without the brace coach and player decision.

Did we as a crew make ourselves look bad by enforcing the rule properly? I think not. What about the officials who did the other 21 games and not enforce the rule properly? It just looks bad.

Comments?
