Artists in residence?
A recent news item brought to mind: Are there any limitations or rules regarding a player using face paint (or anywhere else on the body, for that matter)? Seems it would be under 3-4 through 3-7 if so but nothing seems to address it. Given all the uniform and color policing, it seems this would/could have been an issue at some point.

You have a right to rule on things that are not specifically in the rulebook (The Referee to be specific). I would not allow such a thing for the simple fact this could come off on the ball or the floor. And I do not think many coaches would allow this as well as it is inappropriate for the game of basketball in my opinion.
Peace

NFHS 3-5-1: The referee shall not permit any team member to wear equipment or apparel which, in his/her judgment, is dangerous or confusing to other players or is not appropriate.
I realize this doesn't address face paint. However, I think it provides an easily defensible basis for the referee to make a 2-3 ruling disallowing face paint based on it being "not appropriate" for basketball.

Let me play devil's advocate for a moment here. If you allow makeup on girls, can you not allow face paint on boys? What's the difference (in theory, that is)? Are you going to allow "makeup" on boys? What if a girl has on face paint and says it's just part of her makeup?
See what we might be getting into? YIKES!

Speaking of other sports...our state's governing body has banned face paint and glitter in volleyball.
As for face paint v. makeup, it is different. And you and I know it is. And it's you and I that have the authority to rule on this. And we get the final say, at least for that game.

Tatts ...
This post is not about face painting, but it's about another form of skin decoration that the NFHS has ruled upon. Remember this:
1996-97 NFHS Basketball Rule Book, page 70, Points of Emphasis: Permanent tattoos pose problems if they are objectionable for one reason or another. School administrators and/or coaches have an obligation to have objectionable markings of a permanent type covered. It is not in the best interest of the game to have officials placed in a position where from game to game they must rule on what is objectionable. Obviously, officials can and will make these decisions when outright vulgarity or obscenity is involved or when such markings violate sportsmanship and/or taunting or baiting regulations.
