Have you had to be the fashion police?

[LarryS]

Last weekend at a varsity girls tournament one of the home teams has two girls wearing black sweat bands (school colors are black and gold...home uniform is white trimmed in black and gold). I am one of the U's, and since there have been different opinions voiced by officers in our association, I point it out to the R and he says "No way am I asking them to take them off. Not until I am told something specific." I figure the rule book is pretty specific, but can understand his hesitation as the assignor may not want us to be real strict and chose not to make it an issue or start a debate on the court.

I thought about it today and sent an email to the assignment secretary and rules interpreter for our association and now can show my partner something specific...enforce the rule...we have your back.

Has anyone had to ask a player to remove a sweat band that is the wrong color? What reaction did you get from the player and/or coach?

Just curious...
