LOL Good idea! Hey, this seems like a good time to go check if there are any broken light bulbs on the scoreboard. [/B][/QUOTE]Go back and read the amended post. It asks that pithy question "Is the hand part of the shoe?" [/B][/QUOTE] A Handshuh? That's a German glove ain't it? mick |

[/B][/QUOTE]Easy one in NFHS. Case book play 3.5SitA tells us that one criteria to be applied is that the equipment used is supposed to be appropriate for basketball. That's why we don't let players wear gloves for instance, which are specifically mentioned as a no-no in that case play. It's also why we wouldn't let 'em wear shoes as gloves either. Use the same thinking for NCAA- if there isn't already something in their rules already resembling the FED philosophy. [/B][/QUOTE]
Can this be applied to situations where HS players are wearing the wristbands up on their biceps or even on their legs? Do you ignore this or address it? |

It sez "Equipment shall not be modified from it's original manufactured state and shall be worn in the manner the manufacturer intended it to be worn". Iow, wristbands go on wrists, headbands go on heads, etc. We instruct our officials to call it that way too. |

I've been trying to think of another possible example, and all I can think of is this (weak?) possibility: can a player grab the bottom of their jersey, and hold it out away from their body (think bat wings) to say, deflect a pass going under their arms? The jersey is appropriate equipment. Now, in this case, I can see using the jersey this way as perhaps falling under "gaining an unfair advantage". But in the shoe instance, he wasn't using it unfairly, it was just in his hand. So, is the hand part of the shoe, or is the shoe part of the hand?

A shoe is legal equipment. We won't stop play for a player to put a shoe back on. And it's a hazard having it on the court. Best option is probably for him to toss it to the bench. But he's not required to do that. So what do we do? The "appropriate equipment" rule doesn't specify a penalty, which says to me that the rules committee didn't consider that an otherwise legal piece of equipment would become illegal (or at least not often enough to warrant a ruling). The best analogue is probably the untucked jersey rule. Send the player out of the game to get his shoe back on at the earliest opportunity. For a shirt that would be the next dead ball. But in this case, where you may have to deal with the issue of the shoe in hand contacting the ball...maybe kill the play on the same basis that you would for an injured player, as soon as the offense isn't making a move to the basket. But it the shoe contacts the ball... Having the shoe in his hand is a disadvantage to the shoe-bearer since he loses the full utility of that hand. That, I think, balances out the disadvantage to the defense that the ball will likely carom oddly off the shoe. If, however, the shoe extends his reach and allows him to get his "hand" on a ball he normally couldn't, then I think you've got to call something. In this case, I think I'm invoking 2-3 and calling an otherwise unsupported violation and giving the ball back to the offense. And I'm sending the player out to get his shoe back on.

If the shoe did not extend his reach you could argue that what he did is legal. I just read BITS' post & I agree with what he's saying. [Edited by Dan_ref on Jan 20th, 2006 at 12:41 PM]

We were instructed in our meeting on Wednesday evening that the SWEAT bands can be worn wherever, but only one per limb. |

I can hold a shoe in my hand in such a way that while it does not conform exactly to the size & shape of my hand this extension you speak of does not exist. Anything else we can try?
