Sports Illustrated meets Ted Valentine

[BillyMac]

The reference to "Sports Illustrated" in this thread gives me a good excuse to bring in a real off topic question. I hope Basketball Forum members don't mind:

On page 58 of the March 12, 2007 issue of "Sports Illustrated" is a photograph of a NCAA wrestling official. He's wearing one red wristband, on his left wrist, and one green wristband, on his right wrist. I don't know anything about NFHS, or NCAA wrestling, or how these sports are officiated, but I believe that there must be a reason for these nonmatching wristbands. Maybe some Forum members have a brother-in-law, colleague at work, or a friend who officiates wrestling, who can find out the reason for this "fashion faux-pas"?

My son is a wrestling expert, in college he hosted a call-in talk show about wrestlng, but it was the professional, "entertainment" variety of wrestling. I don't see Hulk Hogan or The Undertaker mentioned in the "Sports Illustrated" article, so I know my son can't help me out with this question.
