Shin guards, knee braces, and so on, are different than a tether. These are worn for protection purposes, and we have guidelines for protective gear.
The MichiganHSAA will not allow tethers for any sports. Schools may petition for any uniform/equipment deviation from traditional equipment, but wearing a tether will never be allowed and has been vetoed everytime.
Rule 3-5 covers it pretty well.
I believe that the boy should be allowed to play sans the tether. If his PO, coach, and parents believe that basketball is a great release for him, and they know he'll be at a game, allow it to be removed for his games. That way he cannot injure himself, or others.

You still haven't answered my original question: Please verify your statement concerning the MichiganHSAA. I am registered with the MichiganHSAA and have never seen a ruling from them or the NFHS concerning the ankle tether that is being discussed in this thread.

Mark T.,
She needed a ruling last year, made the phone call and got it. She's not guessin' here. She doesn't work that way.

I am sorry if I am still skeptical because it is stated MichiganHSAA policy that there is no official ruling from the MichiganHSAA puts it in writing and until the MichiganHSAA puts it in writing and distributes to all of its officials, her statement holds not water for me.
