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.

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.
