Be careful with the iPad rulings. They vary all over the map.

NCAA-W says they are legal as long as they are not being used to communicate to/from the bench.. NCAA-M says they are not legal at all. IAABO says they are legal in HS for the same purpose...scoring only. They may not be used as "whiteboards" or anything else.

Eventually, the rulemakers will catch up with the technology. But NCAA 10-4-2 does not ban them outright. Take a look at AR 273, which specifically says that laptop computers are legal on the bench, as long as they are not being used for electronic communication. There was a memo sent to NCAA-W officials last year that expanded this ruling to include the iPad.
