Electronic Ankle Tether

[tjones1]

If you deem it unnatural, you must also say that it's designed to increase a player's height or reach or to gain an advantage. I'm not seeing an advantage gained. (3-5-4)

3-5-2c
Knee and ankle braces are permitted but all exposed hinges must be covered. Most over-sleeves recommended by manufacturers are acceptable. These braces may be padded or unpadded.

As long as I thought it was safe, I would allow it.

Why does the term Parole Officer pop into my head?

[Back In The Saddle]

As long as it is not a safety concern, why would you care? Sure, it's unusual. But it's not giving the kid any kind of advantage. And unlike most other apparel and equipment items, I'm guessing this cannot be easily removed.

[tjones1]

I'm guessing... but I'd say if it was removed it'd be some type of violation... and I'm not talking about Rule 9.

Maybe you should ask if they are wearing it because of some kind of violent action

Had that exact situation last year, we let the kid play, no problems. Asked our supervisor later, they said we were ok with letting him play. Of course, in the varsity game after our game with ankle monitor boy, there was a huge fight in the stands during the varsity game, which had to be stopped for a few minutes to let the police get control! An interesting night all around!

It's like a religious medal or similar--in this case his parole officer is his "Higher Power."
