Thanks Sr, like I said before I understand. Thats why I love you guys. When someone is wrong you give them that tough love answer that makes them understand real quick. Thanks for the feedback. Sr remember Im just a Diebler loving lunatic!:D

Sr., Yeah, Good Nickname ...
 

Tough love? You should have been around for Jurassic Referee before he went on sabbatical. He made the rest of us look like pussy cats.

NEohioref: Good nickname for Mark T. DeNucci, Sr. Good in more ways than one.

Not sure why people get carried away about using jargon when their own spelling isn't correct???

The only part of Art. 2 that comes into play here:
 

Coach, Player A1 has pre-wrap on her knee. Is that for medical puposes? Okay, good.

Why would you even go there? It's not a brace, cast, compression sleeve, or guard...just leave it alone. She's not breaking any rules or safety measure so just leave it alone.

Come on, how could pre-wrap be for medical reasons? It's pre-wrap... not tape, not an ace bandage, not a brace. Having said that... it's also not illegal. Let it go and play the game.

I just corrected my spelling mistake. If you notice I made my OP at 02:04amEST. I wasn't completely awake at the time and since I am old and senile that is my excuse and I am sticking with it, :D.

MTD, Sr.

According to Ron Cooper, ATC, athletic trainer, pre-wrap makes an excellent patellar tendon strap.

Ron says, "I learned about this technique by watching other athletic trainers and by word-of-mouth. This use of underwrap has been around for at least 5-10 years."

"The athlete places the pre-wrap about 8-10 inches above the knee and wraps it around their thigh 10-12 times, as tight as they like. Next, the athlete's palms roll down over pre-wrap, creating a cord. Finally, just roll the strap down to desired spot."

Using underwrap for patellar tendon support has several advantages over straps or braces made specifically for that purpose. The biggest advantage, Ron says, is comfort. "Pre-wrap is flexible and form-fitting to the knee. Most purchased straps are connected by Velcro, which can irritate the underside of the knee causing pain and discomfort."

Ron also likes the control afforded by underwrap. "The level of tension and pressure is determined by the athlete, increasing comfort during the activity. The strap also stays in place better and longer. Purchased patellar straps are typically made out of neoprene, which get wet and slide when an athlete perspires. You'll see athletes tugging at the device, trying to twist it into place. But the pre-wrap is made of a foam substance that holds better to the athlete's body." Although neoprene holds heat and helps muscles stay warm, Ron says that sometimes neoprene straps feel almost too hot at times.

If she had tape around it, you wouldn't have said a word. Pre-wrap is just a kind of tape, let it go. Assume it's medical if you need to; but there's no need.

Yo Yo Yo Playa!!!

treece: Thanks for sharing.

Not sure why people end sentence fragments with redundant, incorrect punctuation???

How did I do??? Oops. I mean, how did I do?
 

Let's see if I can translate this from mbyron into English? Please keep in mind that sarcasm is difficult to translate.

"Please post in complete sentences, and end a question with one question mark, not three question marks".

Had a girl last week who was wearing pre-wrap in a similar fashion. Partner asked if we should tell her to take it off. I said no, because there was no rule justification for telling her to do so. He said, alright, we'll just leave it unless the other coach complains. I almost had to walk away shaking my head in disbelief!

... and put the period BEFORE the closing quote mark ...

(English teachers or officials: Which are the biggest pain?!) :)
