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.
