I know you said pads instead of braces! That is why I said I thought we agreed.

We have guards, casts, braces, sleeves, tights, compression shorts, jewelery, undershirts, wristbands and headwear. We ain't got no pads. I am placing those "pads" into the brace category (3-5-2) and they sound legal.

Pads are not braces and they are not sleeves. Therefore you cannot compare them to braces.

They are pads and there are no rules governing them so we still agree.

I have never worn a pad and think that anyone who does is suspect. Suspect of what, I'm not sure. But definitely not trustworhty of the intricate workings of life's decisions. Likely one who participates in tomfoolery and shenanigans. I won't be part of it and this is my final post in this thread.

And, according to the new rules, you would be wrong:

2014-15 NFHS BASKETBALL RULES CHANGES

3-5-3 Art. 3: Arm sleeves, knee sleeves, lower leg sleeves and tights are permissible:
a. Anything worn on the arm and/or leg is a sleeve, except a knee brace, and shall meet the color restrictions.
b. The sleeves/tights shall be black, white, beige or the predominant color of the uniform and the same color sleeves/tights shall be worn by teammates.
c. All sleeves/tights shall be the same solid color.
d. Meet the logo requirements in 3-6.
Note: In general, a brace is defined as anything that contains hinges and/or straps or an opening over the knee cap.
