Sleeves on elbows & med alert bracelets
Help me out: sleeves on elbows need a dr note & med alert bracelets are treated as accepted jewelry that needs to be taped down on a player. They would never have a med alert bracelet to wear a sleeve on their elbow.

Probably Couldn't Read The Writing Anyway ...
If a player was warming up with a compression sleeve on, and if I asked him if he was wearing it for a medical reason, and if he answered in the affirmative, I would accept that and play basketball.
I believe that, according to rule, we only require a doctor's note for an unconscious player.

Medical Alert Bracelet Wristband ???
Here's a post I made last season:
Home team is wearing white jerseys. During the third period, I notice that a home team player is wearing a red wristband. During a dead ball, clock stopped situation, I tell him that he can't play with the red wristband on. He tells me it's a special wristband to cover his medical alert bracelet, and sure enough, he shows me his bracelet, and he shows me the red wristband with a white medical alert logo on it. Using intent and purpose, I decided that if it was taped, as stated by rule, the tape could have been any color, and since this was obviously a special medical alert bracelet wristband, I let him continue to play. Has anyone else seen these special red medical alert bracelet wristbands, which, by the way, I think are a good idea and should be allowed by the NFHS? Anybody have a problem with me allowing the young man to continue to play with this equipment? http://stores.vitalids.com/-strse-2/...nds/Detail.bok ![]()

The rule says it is to be assumed that the compression sleeves are for medical purposes. I do not know why officials insist on finding out if that is the actual reason. This is not football where we need documentation for certain items. I do not care to know, I just know it is on and move on.
Peace

Agreed. Compressions sleeves can be worn for medical reasons. If he's wearing it, it's for medical reasons.

The Answer ...
You mean they can't wear one because they want to look like Allen Iverson? That certainly sounds like a good reason to me.

And in my experience, the main reason kids try to wear it.

I thought that in IL we were supposed to ask if it was being worn for medical reasons? (and accept the answer without asking for documentation).

This was an editorial change…no need for any kind of documentation….from a doctor or otherwise. We can make certain assumptions about what is being worn…knee sleeve, brace, etc. are usually worn for medical purposes. If there is a doubt, all the official has to do is ask the student-athlete, coach, trainer, anyone….”is that being worn for medical purposes?” If the answer is yes, then it’s fine. Vast majority of items will comply. No need to over-think or over-officiate this. If anything was required, medical documentation or a doctor’s note, it would have been stated that way.

So when six kids from the same team come on the court for warm ups wearing compression sleeves our only responsibility is to ask each if it medically necessary or a blanket question to the coach and if the answer is yes we move on.
This is not made up. I actually had this the other night.
