Fashion Police questions
If you want any fashion police questions:

1. True/False A player may legally wear a headband with the NBA logo.

2. True/False A player from the home team may legally wear gray tights.

3. True/False A player may wear an arm sleeve that is half white and half red.

Riddle me this: What if the tights stop above the knee, are made of a compression type material, and the uniform shorts are gray?

Billy, don't needlessly confuse people.

Tights extend below the knee. Compression shorts do not.
Two different items. Very clearly stated in the rules.

Citation please.

(I am already aware that the NFHS is looking into this inconsistency in the rules.)

I've been told by my local interpreter that Peter Webb, IAABO (International)Coordinator of Interpreters, who now has a role on the NFHS Basketball Rules Committee, will be working with the committee to determine the difference between short tights, and compression shorts. With tights now legal, references to compression shorts may be making an exit from the rulebook.

If you look at the comments on rules in the back of this year's rules book, you will see that the first mention of tights specifies that they extend below the knee and after that every use of the word tights carries this meaning as they are required to meet the same restrictions as leg sleeves.
