Just a point......

We can't ask a player to take their beads out. We can tell them that they can't play until they remove them, but we can't actually tell them to remove them. The NFHS has been quite explicit in their direction on this. If they want to sit on the bench for the whole game with beads in their hair, that's up to them.

Nike sells headbands, shoes, etc.
Reebok sells headbands, shoes, etc.
Jordan Brand sells headbands, shoes, etc.

The NBA sells dreams

That is the difference to me.

We were actually told that the NBA logo is a manufacturer logo and is acceptable in HS games

Really?

2006-07 NFHS Basketball Rules Interpretations
SITUATION 7: After playing for nearly three minutes, A1 is detected in the game wearing (a) a sweatband above the elbow, or (b) a headband around the neck. RULING: In both (a) and (b), A1 is instructed to remove the illegal item, make it legal or leave the game; he/she may not participate until in compliance with the rule. (3-5-3c; 3-5-4)

We were told the exact opposite.

For what it's worth, Jordan is its own brand and the jumpman is the Jordan brand's logo.

I also agree Air Jordan, Jordan, Jumpman are all manufacture names as well as NBA is there own brand. Even though generally someone like Nike will have the rights, NBA is still a listed manufacture.

Let it go and play ball!

I read this as giving the player the options - "either you remove the illegal item, or you must leave the game."

Could the difference be in the wearing of illegal items versus improperly worn, but legal, items.
