FIBA Europe says she can't play

[Mark T. DeNucci, Sr.]

Up until the current FIBA Rules Edition (2008-12), undershirts were prohibited unless for medical reasons. The medical reason prohibition was dropped from the 2008-12 Rules Edition and no reason was given, meaning the rules do not make no mention pro or con regarding undershirts. Given that, I could not understand the ruling that was given. Especially, when one looks at the Rules Edition the covered the first Olympics in which the USA sent its NBA players (1992), the rules were quite specific that everybody on the team must wear the same shoe (including the same color), yet NBA players on Team USA wore the shoes that they endorsed in direct violation of the rules.
