Pre-wrap around knee

[NEohioref]

just to make sure we are on the same page. Im speaking on the wrap the use aroung the head,that nylon stuff. I dont think its legal around the knee. But I will continue to look at the rule.wristbands or headwear is not legal around the knee.

Why ask the question if you're not going to accept the answer that is given The wristband rules are for items wore on the arms. The headband rules are for items wore around the head. The hair control device are for items that are wore to control the hair. Pre-wrap can be wore around the knee without color restrictions. This would be the same as sock color. If I had concerns about the item (which I highly doubt I would), I would ask the coach if it's being worn for a medical reason. If he replies, yes...Problem solved, it will be worn as long as it is not dangerous.

Jewelry can never be worn. Pre-wrap is not jewelry under the rules; neither are wristbands or headbands. The only information you need is what the New Rules says. And we are not telling you this without evidence. You are looking for something that is not there.

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.
