I have been a registered basketball official in Ohio since the 1971-72 school year and I can tell you in no uncertain terms, that the OhioHSAA does not ban players from chewing gum while playing basketball nor has it ever had such a ban in place in all of the years that I have been registered by the OhioHSAA. Anybody that told you in 1980 and 1981 that players could not chew gum in Ohio was wrong.

Ok, Mark
I was really in BFA and just decided to pick on Ohio.
Actually, it was a communist plot during the cold war.
I still dont' allow gum or hard candy and won't...feeling no pain for not allowing it and having great games.
Get over it, will ya?
