When did headbands become illegal?

[dore83]

If I need to Google search then you should try using spell check. All I'm saying is people have been blaming referees for ages and it is ridiculous. The players and coaches win and lose ball games bottom line . anything else falls into the sore loser catorgory. Your welcome

Spell check??? Thumbing an o for a p and an i for an a on a phone in a lenghty reply, and that's all you've got? That's cute...

 

Just so you don't have to put forth any effort...

 

ART. 4 . . . Wristbands and headwear shall meet the following guidelines:

a. Headbands and wristbands shall be white, black, beige or predominant color of theuniform and shall be the same color for each item and all participants. See 3-6 for logo

permitted, it must be worn on the forehead/crown, it must be nonabrasive and unadorned,

I have a 13 year old neice that is playing Jr High Ball and travel both and I will assure you she spends 30 minutes making sure her hair is right before the game. So, making a girl take her headband off right before tip is a big deal. Guys maybe not.

And we think the girls were damaged by playing in a game where they were intentionally trying to lose? There are 5 pages here (and counting) that says every girl who plays has seen adults lose all perspective.

Two years ago in State CPA was flagged with a technical at the start of the Second Half (I assume someone brought this to their attention during the halftime) because they had the Nike swoosh on their tops.  Been playing with the same top all year.  Had to sew a American Flag patch over it for the next day.  So I assume it is a tournament thing.

Why couldn't they turn in inside out? GC's just had the Nike emblem on them.

Couldn't agree more! This topic is unbelievable! In pioneer42's opinion the game was lost by headbands.lol. I've thought many of ur comments on here have been a joke thru the season but this topic really takes the cake. lol.

Why can't we just let it go??? Big deal the headbands! If the girls were so distraught over their hair/headbands that it affected their play, their focus was waaayyy in the wrong place. For the legality of the ref's actions to be debated into dust just trivializes the fact that Riverside rode a bus for almost two hours, entered a hostile enviroment where most (including me) only gave them a slim chance, and beat a very solid team in their home gym. Bet Riverside would've fought just as hard if the ref's had shaved their heads before tipoff.

If it was legal and TSSAA says it was they overstepped their boundaries and ought to be fined for it.

I did not know they had computers in mental institutions but after your last couple posts I'm pretty sure that's where you reside. Get some water because you just got burnt

[gocats78]

Lol. The referees didn't make them take of the headbands

[pioneer42]

You don't know what your talking about.

GC and or Pioneer42,  

Was able to see GC play Monday night and one thing I noticed that I have not seen all year is that when introduced, the GC players don't acknowledge the refs or other coaches by fist bumping them.  They just run through their player line and onto the court.  What is the rationale behind what appears to be a "snubbing?"  Is that a coach thing, a player thing or a school tradition.  it always seems so awkward to teams that have never played them before.  just curious
