I know that they do make pink colored basketballs. There is a AAA team in the area here that uses them during their warmups. They play some good ball too. They've made the Region semis, State quarters, State semis, & State quarters the last 4 seasons.

They could easily add pink to the approved colors in rule 1-12-1.

Well it happened in the Big Ten at Illinois last year. So it could happen, but I think it is easier to avoid when you do not have a lot of ball racks being brought out for the two different genders in the same night. Then again all it takes is the wrong bag or rack of balls being brought to the floor and you have the potential for a screw up. It just has not happened to me yet.

The proliferation of captains in girls basketball is becoming absurd. A third of the team is a captain? Being a senior is an automatic captain?

Hank Rockwell would have allowed no such foolishness.

PS I too check for a girls ball by seeing if I can palm it.
