What do you guys think of this? I agree with some of the posts on the article saying that its a uniform, and theyre at work, so follow the dress code.

I think it is kind of silly to have this rule, but I can also see why they would have it. I was wondering why Rondo wasn't wearing his headband the last two nights. Is that why Mo didn't wear a headband in preseason too, since he usually has his inside out?

What's the problem with wearing it the right way? Do they play better with it upside down?

I agree with the rule completely. Is it OK to hang a flag upside down? Not one bit. Shouldn't be any different for the NBA logo.

Besides....why is it so hard to wear it right-side up?

rule is stupid. now rondo wont be cool anymore

I think it's disrespectful to wear it upside down... not sure if it actually has to be a rule though. Someone on the staff should just say, turn it the right way and that should be enough.

It should not be that big of a deal to the players unless they're doing it for the wrong reasons.

Is the rule stupid? Yes
Is it even stupider to wear a headband upside down? Yes

This is why the NBA will eventually implode, if this is the kind of stuff David Stern Soprano wants to spend his time on, then he has missed the boat!

There are thugs, criminals and losers all through the NBA and we want to worry about a headband, hell I guarantee you it will affect the Sales on these products immediately, and it will not be for the better!!

Also, it is NOTHING like flying the American Flag upside down, seriously!!

Let's put a ban on tattoos while we are at it, they might be a tad bit more offensive huh? And they are not for the "look at me" factor! This just shows you that coaches have 0 control over what their respective teams ultimately do or stand for.

NBA is SAD!!
