Headband Ban To End

[Kyoto]

Sloan took over in the 80’s and he didn’t outright ban them. It was either everyone wears them or no one wears them as a togetherness thing.

Don’t let yer butt cheeks flap unchecked. Get yer facts right next time, before you sound like an idiot.

This is a stupid thing to argue about, I'll digress.

I'm just happy that the Jazz got rid of that unwritten rule, it was stupid to begin with

I was in the process of pointing out which facts were wrong in the previous post and realized they pretty much all were. Only one was semi-true (PG calling plays. You were semi-right here, but if Stockton QB'ed more than a few plays on his own). My personal favorite was ruining AK. Lost some coffee through my nose on that one. But on top of that, in 23 years of coaching the Jazz, he only had one losing season. One. Losing. Season. You don't do that without being able to coach out of your buns.

If you don't think he was a great coach, fine. But call the facts correct or don't call them at all.

I'm not sure that's true. There were only a couple of players in the league that actually wore a headband before the early 2000s. Cliff Robinson is the only player that comes to mind but I'm sure there were others. Out of 450ish players in the league and only a couple wore a headband would suggest that players didnt want to wear them, so no need for a rule

It's like, having traffic signs when the model-t was invented. There wasnt a need for it

Half of anyone who ever played for the Trailblazers before 2000 had one. Probably the biggest stigma came from the association with the Blazers during their “Jailblazers” era.

Seeing as one of his former players continued the tradition, not so stupid.

This will be the last straw for CJ.

I believe Layden did, actually. Sloan simply left up to the team as a whole. All or nothing basically, but he never banned them outright. Fact: The team never wore black sneakers because of Ostertag.

Not all players wanted headbands, so they were outlawed. Seems about right to me.

Just clarifying it was the team, not the coach outright. Never saw it as a big deal personally, but whatever.

That actually makes no sense.

I keep wondering which thread will tell us all that we are at the lowest point of the offseason.

This is my favorite thing that people have ever gone to war about on this site. Amazing.

But they do all wear shoes. It's not like 2 people have shoes on and the rest are playing barefoot.

Link?

Head over the general discussion board. There are a number of threads over there that qualify.

The headband rule came into effect when people in the early 2000s started to wear them as a fashion statement. People like Iverson made them popular and Jerry was against anything that could be deemed as a distraction.

You missed the point of my comment completely.

In order for head bands to be allowed all players needed to wear them so no one could. (Outlawed)

Ya that makes no sense.
Why didn't he make that rule for everything else? Why just headbands?
Why even have that rule. Each person is an individual. They are not robots.

I saw this thread and wondered how it had 75 replies. Wish I hadn’t read it.

I don’t get the problem. It promotes togetherness as a team. That was the whole idea behind it.

Do you think a player wearing a headband makes a team not have togetherness?
Do you think a team could have dysfunction even if no one wears a headband?

Headbands are not magical dude.
