We don't really know that...or at least not for every game. From the the first paragraph of the article, we know that she rarely played. So, the number of officials to have not addressed it may have been very small depending on how many blowouts the the team was involved in.

It only takes one or two games. Somebody would have mentioned it to other officials and it would have got back to the association board members.

Are we twiddling our thumbs and looking for hot moms in the stands during warm-ups?

Every prior game allowed for at least one observant, engaged, rules aware official, who should know the uniform rules, to bring this to the attention of the coach and point him in the direction of a legit solution.

It would be incumbent on the coach to pursue the proper waiver instead of peddling the old chestnut, "It was never mentioned all season".

Disgraceful reactions on so many different levels....

Did anyone ask Maryland why they were throwing their officials under the bus?

Diversity training? Really?

Yes, it was insensitive for them to apply the rule.

Seems to me that it would be insensitive to the wearer to allow the wrap to be worn, because that loose fitting, flowing scarf around her head, neck and onto her shoulders in the Wash Post article looks like the cause of an accident waiting to happen. And, it probably wouldn't end so well for the wearer. Maybe not so well for the defender that gets their hand caught up in it, either.

I guess they'll have to stop calling fouls and violations. Wouldn't want anyone to be offended.

Not these days you don't want to. You could get terrible, terrible tweets about you.
