Since We're Dealing With Rules, I Consider My Posts To Be Legal Work ...

In a literary work, the American style of always placing periods and commas inside the quotation marks is recommended. In a technical or legal work, where accuracy is essential, the British practice of placing periods and commas within quotation marks only when they are part of the quoted material is recommended.

I coach cross country and track. Many of my athletes use pre-wrap around the knee to relieve knee pain associated with tendinitis and jumper's knee. It affects more female athletes than male athletes. Using the school-issued pre-wrap (FREE) is much more economical than purchasing a knee band that retails for close to $30. Both devices offer the same treatment.

I have personally used pre-wrap around my knee when I ache. Under no circumstance would I suggest she remove this device. I know the purpose and intent, and also know how damaging and painful it could be when not used. You are keeping the athlete safe by permitting her to use this device.

I cannot speak for Cross Country; it is not illegal in the game of basketball to wear pre-wrap. The problem was the OPer did not know the entire rule on the issue. And the rules have made it clear that items worn for medical reason are not only proper, but not to be removed unless it would fit some special restrictions. And pre-wrap is not dangerous in any way to the person wearing it or others that might come in contact with it.

Peace

I see lots of kids wearing prewrap around the knee for OS or jumper's knee, as well as McDavid (or other brands) that are elastic straps with velcro.

I've never had a problem with the kids wearing them, but I have noticed this year that girls are color-coordinating their prewrap with uniforms.

I'm not going to be the fashion police (unless it is a blatant rules or safety violation), and I'm surely not going to make a kid take off anything that is supposedly to keep an injury from occurring.
