Can the coach request this to come off? Again nothing about it in the Official Rules.
Rules differ so there probably isn't a definitive answer.

Batting Gloves:

OBR: Can't wear one.

LL: Can wear if it is not white, gray, or optic yellow.

FED: Can't be distracting

NCAA: Cannot wear.

Wrist bands:

LL, OBR - cannot wear

FED, NCAA - can't be distracting
