Eyeblack
Started seeing eyeblack being worn around these parts during Girls VB season. Am I witnessing a local trend that will be carrying over to hoops or have you guys been seeing it?

Haven't seen it here.......yet! And, if I do, I'm certainly not going to become an OOO.

If it does catch on, "Coming to a Rules Book near you........."

Has the NFHS ever commented on face painting, eye black, etc? I've been around over thirty years, and I don't' recall any comments from the NFHS regarding these issues.

In football they have. But basketball is not football so the Referee would have to rule on anything that is not specifically covered in the rules. I do not see a basketball need for such things.

Peace

Neither do I, but the need to ban it is even smaller.

That's easy here. The NCHSAA doesn't allow any type of body or face paint.

How much makeup does it take to be considered face paint? Or is makeup prohibited?

Sorry #15, you can't play with that eyeliner on. (And what official is going to inspect a player's face for makeup).

Really? Really? You can't tell the difference in eyeliner that's worn under the eyelashes versus a streak of eye black worn on the cheek like a football player?

Nobody is outlawing makeup. It's not eyeliner. It's a black streak of paint the width of a finger on the cheek under the eye.

It started with VB player who painted the school logo on the side of the player's face, a shoulder, etc. It progressed from there.

It's no different than the NFHS restricting eye black in football. It must be a single streak with no wording. No face black or war paint.
