headwear????????

[BOBBYMO]

Tonight I was at a college woman's game and I saw something that really got me curious.

Todays trend in headwear for players with longer hair is to take some "pre-wrap" ( gausey elastic strechable material) and twist it up like a small rubber band and place it on their head to keep their hair from going into their face / eyes.

Tonight before the opening tip an official made all the players wearing this " pre-wrap' to remove it before the game started.

When I got home I tried to look it up but came up with nothing showing that this is illegal. To me its much safer than wearing a plastic brett.

Has anyone seen a rule stating that this is not legal headwear????
