Head bands. I looked in both rule book & case books, couldn't find it, but I know it's somewhere.
Player wearing a headband that's 'tied' in a knot in the back. No 'tails' to really speak of, but I thought I read somewhere that would be an illegal headband.
Would it be illegal?
Thanks in advance

What year is your rule book?

Legal. How else could a player use a prewrap headband? Superglue?

Knots aren't illegal.

Extensions (tails) are illegal.

Is prewrap worn as a headband permissible?

Yes. It must be treated as a headband and
meet the color requirements. If it is tied it must
not have ends/tails. Prewrap worn to control
hair only, such as a “pony tail”, does not have
to meet color requirements.

I want to say that one of the preseason guides specifically talked about the headbands that tie, and deemed them illegal. I can't cite a rule about it, but I now that at least our area does not allow them.

So how do the players keep on their prewrap headbands? A nail gun?

I'm an officiating robot... I just do as I'm told.

And what I read specifically talked about those headbands... Not a general statement.

Years ago I had this gal in a game. I let her wear the headband but not the necklace.
