Every now and then, perhaps not often enough, the rule-makers announce a decision that makes our lives easier. So it is with these obnoxious "bands" that have no practical function, other than to serve as a fashion statement, and pose a minimal safety concern regarding fingers getting caught up in them.
Rather than develop a multi-paragraph, convoluted definition of what may, or may not be acceptable, the rule-makers decided simply to say, "NO". If you want to get embrioled in a never ending debate with coachs, players and even possibly parents as to the perceived harmlessness or inoccuessness of these uniform adornments, that's up to you. A simple, "NO", on the other hand seems like a much simpler and clearer response.
This is the type issue, consistency, will be helpful in eliminating.
