Pink Headbands...Penalize or not?

[splitveer]

Some of you have read the recent post about the pink uniforms. I just had a discussion with a fellow official that walked into a gym and the home team was recognizing cancer awareness and was wearing pink headbands. They were not wearing pink uniforms so they are not legal. The crew walked over and talked with both coaches to make sure they were both OK with the headbands before the game started. Both coaches were OK with this.

1. Would you leave it as this, or ask to have them removed?

THEN.....the head coach handed the crew a pink basketball and asked if they could play with it. Same situation....they talked with the coaches and both were OK with it.

2. Would you leave it as this, or not play with the pink basketball.

Also, would you handle this situation differently?
