It cannot be clearer than "single solid color". You've got no ground to stand on.

Correct, I 'm wondering what ground JumpUSA was standing on...

Pulling it out of...thin air... is my guess.

I only skimmed the ad quickly, but I note it says "game type situations" (not "games") and it doesn't mention any rules code (e.g., NFHS)

From the ad:

The other shooting aid products on the market today are designed to help basketball players shoot better during training times, but none of these can be worn in game type situations.



From the email that linked me to the ad:

The Shooting Aid You Can Actually Wear In Game

DotShot Basketball Shooting Aid is a training aid that combines a compression sleeve with visual reference points (the Dots) to help basketball players improve your shooting. Watch video here.

My other thought, maybe they aren't aware of the rule change this year.

Seems like it would be a lot cheaper for a kid to put some does on his/her arm with a sharpie...and that would be legal too.

Funny story.

I'm working a BF game last week and just before tip off I bring White32 and White12 together, one is wearing a black sleeve the other white, and explain that one of them will have to remove it.

White12 says, "no problem I have a black one too, runs to the sideline, and exchanges it in about 2 seconds."

I'm thinking, "Unbelievable, this little $#*! has two sleeves and probably can't play a lick."

Same kid hits a NBA range 3 on the first possession of the game and then 3 other 3s in the first quarter as they blew out the other team. My partner and I had a good laugh to ourselves as we were both thinking the same thing.

Tattoos. As long as they weren't offensive.

Maybe they're the same folks who manufacture uniforms for Illinois high school teams.

Ok, if I'm a white player, I cut the four circles out on black sleeve, and conversely, black player would do same with white sleeve.

Silly, but should be legal, no?

Side note: Rick Barry is one of the biggest(rhymes with Rick) I've ever met.
