Players warming up with Gold pre-wrap headbands.

Are you sure it wasn't beige? I don't think I've seen gold pre-wrap.

It would be beige in my game unless greater than 18 karat (which is 750 for FIBA).

I was the substitute timer at our local HS early in the season before the teams in our area began to conform to the headband rule. During the JV game, the HC calls the R over about 3 minutes into the game and makes a complaint about the V team wearing illegal headbands (they were not all the same color.) While the discussion is going on the player in question takes her headband off and sticks it into her shoe. The VC makes a few derogatory remarks about the behaviour of the HC and the crowd rumbles a little but the game goes on.

After the JV game, the HC comes to the table and we get in a conversation about it (he knows that I ref.) I know that he buys the yellow pre-wrap for his team because of the team colors and I know the difference between yellow and beige. We have a discussion about the legal colors. he disputed whether the yellow was any different than beige. I told him that if I had been the R, I would have made his entire team remove their yellow headbands He disagreed and told me it would be ridiculous to do that.

The next time I saw his team, they all had beige pre-wrap for headbands.

Of course they said that, coach. You gave them $200.

They are black, I said but that writing around them is what makes them illegal. If it only said Nike once it would have been fine but not how it was. He said I called Nike and they said it was ok and that they were legal. I payed 200 dollars so my team could wear them so they better be legal. Sorry coach they are not legal. But Nike said they are, tell them I said they aren't. He wasn't too happy. I do hate being the uniform police though.

"Looks like you paid $200 in stupid tax coach."
