Funny you say that. The gentleman the ref who I asked to clarify the rule said that last Saturday at a Coaches clinic, they spent 30 minutes debating whether a girls headwrap is a headband. Headbands are not allowed, but they did not know if headwraps are :confused:

He said half the refs can't call a charge/blocking foul, and the are spending 30 minutes on a headband! :igiveup:

Just for clarification, Headbands are allowed. It's the color of the Headbands that are the issue. Everyone has to wear the same color. It either can be black, white or the dominant color of the teams jersey. Everyone doesn't have to have one, but if more than one player does, they have to be the same color. And as far as headwrap, same thing, anything that goes all the way around the head is considered a headband, whether it's a real headband or pre wrap around the head, as long as it abides by the color rules, it is legal.

Now hair holding devices(things that hold the hair back that don't go all the way around the head), as long as they are soft do not have any color legalities. They can be multi colored.

But I totally agree with you about worrying about such stuff is crazy, when a lot of officials don't know what a travel is! It's getting totally ridiculous, this should be something athletic directors and coaches should have to worry about, not officials.
