Yes, they aren't the easiest rules in the book to understand, but they're not the hardest rules to understand either. If all coaches would enforce these rules with their players ("This is the color I want all of you to wear for headbands, including prewrap, wristbands, and sleeves: (Insert color). (Insert color) undershirts for home games. (Insert color) undershirt for road games. No jewelry. Period. No exceptions."), and if all officials would enforce these rules in all their games, then I believe that 99% of the problems would go away.

As I stated in my earlier post regarding a Catholic middle school league: If a bunch of rinky dink "tween" age players, with volunteer coaches, can get these rules right, why can't these rules be followed in high school programs?
