Here's what happened to me 4 years ago.
Team mgr, a young man with Down Syndrome. Wears red wristbands, given to him by his grandfather, everywhere.
Final home game of the season. It's widely known that the young man's grandfather had passed early in the season and everyone knows that he's getting into the game at some point. Home team up big in final two minutes..... enter the young man wearing his red wristbands. (not a school color)
Young man enters game, crosses himself, kisses his wristbands and points to the sky. Not a dry eye in the house, present company included.
He scored two points and was carried off the court by both teams...... While wearing his illegal wristbands.
I challenge anyone to say they could look dead into a TV camera and state with conviction that the rule he was "breaking" was more important than what took place in the final two minutes of that game.
