Interpretation: The following interpretation was issued on January 11, 2006 as part of the Women’s Basketball Coordinators of Officials Teleconference Minutes; it will be applied again this season. The Rules Committee will review the rules pertaining to headbands and hair-control devices at its May rules meeting.
1/11/06: “Players may wear pre wrap to hold their hair back, rubber bands, scrunchies and thin elastic pieces that also hold their hair back. They do not have to be the same color as the uniform. They are not considered head bands and therefore do not fall under the rule. They can be of any color and they do not have to be a single color.”
