From what I have read this seems to be a rule created by John Paxon when he became the general manager of the Bulls. Many of the players were wearing headbands in odd ways, (at angles apparently) and Paxon handed down a rule that said players could not wear headbands during games.

It's a team rule implemented by the "Old School" Scott Skiles who thinks that headbands can be disrespectful and look sloppy when worn around your neck ala Eddie Robinson.
If Skiles had it his way everyone would stillbe wearing the Larry Bird shorts.

I think the idea is retarded. WHat does wearing a head band have to do with playing basketball.
Whenever team coaches and management instate irrelevant rules like these, it only serves to make players loose respect for their coaches and team higher-ups.
I think the coaching staff were just looking for a way to show the players who was boss and all they could come up with was "Dont wear head bands anymore".
