Why do some pro basket ball teams let the players wear head bands but others don't?

Question

Seems like men with African American hair NEED them!!! I am specifically thinking of Ben Wallace.

Answer 1

Yeah, I heard that Scott Skiles who coaches the Chicago Bulls did not want head bands to be worn during games. The coaches are the ones that decide that. I really think it comes down to the NBA's dress code. It is probably because they don't look very professional and coaches feel they need to enforce it. I really think that coaches want basketball to be like it was in the 90's and 80's where people did not wear many headbands and great plays and showmanship were the order of the day.

Answer 2

very unsure..but like what everyone said, it's a team policy...as it is enforced in the Chicago Bulls organization. Look at the Kings, haha....three white guys...all wear head bands at times... Brad Miller, Mike Bibby, and Kevin Martin.. wierd yeah?... i guess its not just a black thing, but they try to just look cool... maybe it is just a style... "to be a basketball player"... to go on further..why does Brad Miller need a shooting sleeve?

Answer 3

favourite team, Phoenix Suns, love their quickly paced video games. Very taking area in to video reveal. in spite of the certainty that I nonetheless like the 2004-2005 Suns with: Nash, Johnson, Richardson, Marion, Stoudamire. favourite participant: Kobe Bryant, can do each little thing, and the frightening area is, he seems to be like extra perfect each 365 days.
