I'm still waiting to see any research that says those things actually reduce concussions . . . last time I saw research (which I think was from soccer), there was no evidence that they did anything to reduce concussions. (Which makes sense if you are paying attention to what a concussion really is [movement of the brain within the skull] rather than trying to make a buck off mommy's fears for little Johnny. That pad is going to do very little to change the rate of acceleration/decleration of the skull, which is what causes the brain to slosh inside.)

Not suggesting refs should do anything. I do think those headbands are a fraud that is taking advantage of fear and that may be increasing risks of actual concussions (likely more so in soccer than basketball) becuase players falsely think they have some measure of protection.
