The exception is wearing something dangerous (i.e. headphones, earbuds, cell phones, etc.) that could injure someone. The officials are directed to have these items removed, by communicating with the head coach.

While I may agree with this, is anyone aware of an actual NFHS ruling of such?

Illegal Equipment Some Of The Time ...

Thanks bob jenkins. Another great citation.

Illegally colored equipment (undershirts, headbands, wrist bands, sleeves, etc.) can be worn during warm-ups but not during the game.

Dangerous illegal equipment (headphones, earbuds, cell phones, jewelry (bracelets, earrings, necklaces), etc.), that could injure someone, may not be worn both during warm-ups nor during the game.

Are hard hair control devices (beads, barrettes, and bobby pins), considered to be dangerous (like jewelry) illegal equipment (that could injure someone), and thus may not be worn both during warm-ups nor during the game? I would think so.

3.5 SITUATION A: The officials are on the court prior to the game observing the team warm-ups. One official notices that a member of Team A is wearing a decorative necklace. RULING: The official should inform the team member to remove the jewelry immediately. Upon compliance, the team member may continue to warm up with his or her teammates and may start the game without penalty.

The "headphones, earbuds, cell phones" warm-up issue has come up several times on the Forum.

While the IAABO interpretation is nice, and NFHS caseplay 3.5 SITUATION A that addresses jewelry helps a little, it sure would be nice to have a NFHS citation regarding headphones, earbuds, and cell phones during warm-ups (some state associations have already addressed this issue unilaterally).
