I brought this up last year because I incorrectly had girls remove or tuck them in last year during an AAU tournament. Glad the rest of the world is catching up with me.

I think I'm gonna let this type of headband slide during summer ball given the amount of crap I got from a coach (and subsequently the owner of the building I ref in) for not allowing his player to wear earrings, even covered in tape.

I'm still gonna stand up for the actual unsafe things like earrings, rings, necklaces, etc., but not gonna pick battles over that type of headband.

Why? Cause you don't like to deal with crap?

We were told last year these were illegal.

Essentially yes.

I also hate dealing with "Fashion Police" crap, but I deal with it, because the NFHS wants me to deal with it, my state interscholastic high school sports governing body wants me to deal with it, and my state, and local, IAABO boards want me to deal with it.

I just wish that all of my local board colleagues would deal with it. It would make my job a lot easier.

Tuesday night's official (to himself): "This fashion stuff ain't part of "the game"".

Friday night's coach to BillyMac: "But Tuesday night's officials let us wear these".

I guess while we are talking about free throw situations I might as well point out that they have removed language in the penalty section of 9-1. Penalty 4b used to say if the second violation is by the free thrower or a "teammate behind the free throw line extended and the three point line" both violations are penalized....

It now simply says if the violation is by the free thrower or a "teammate" both violations are penalized. It contradicts 4a which we know says the second violation is ignored if it occurs in marked lane space....

I'm not sure you were incorrect, even though the rule was not as clear as it could have been,

I know that in IL we were told not to allow them -- and I assume (yeh, I know) they got the info from nfhs somewhere.

They've been illegal in WI for years.
