Do I think no headbands is a stupid rule? Yes. But it is Scott Skiles team, and he wants his players looking professional. Kinda like how Steinbrenner wants his Yankees to look professional. I have no problem with it.

Exactly, Its all about the money....... |

Long hair enables a foe to get a good grip on your head, yank it back, and slit your throat. Headbands, on the other hand, keep sweat out of your eyes. They are performance enhancing. In a game where hand eye coordination plays an enormous role keeping salty fluid out of eyes is PARAMOUNT! THIS RULE IS RI-DANG-DICULOUS!!!!!! Next thing you know Skiles is going to start banning contacts and prescription goggles. |

If Wallace can't wear a fro, b/c he's not allowed to wear a headband, that's bs. Skiles needs to get over himself and his stupid rules. If Rodman played for the Bulls and Skiles was the coach, Rodman wouldn't even be allowed to die his hair. Or throw his jersey into the stands. It's stupid. Wallace's Fro is what makes Wallace "Big Ben". Without the fro he looks like a juiced up Luol Deng.

If true, they should have been upfront with Wallace before signing him. Don't hide something in fear that it would make him change his mind.
QUOTE According to league and Bulls sources, Wallace has felt unfairly singled out by team rules that have taken away his pregame music, his headband and his tape-free ankles. freaking retarded rules. |

How can a rule that exsisted before you came along, single you out? That might be dumbest thing I have ever heard of.

Maybe he feels singled out because the bulls knew he did all that crap, but declined to tell him there were rules against it until after he inked the deal |

I have never worked for a company that told us stuff like that in the interview stage. If it was a question, he or his agent should have asked. |

When you are trying to sign someone who does something blatantly violating team rules how do you not tell them about that? |

In every place that I've worked or applied to that has been something that has explained to me. Of course, it was all lab jobs where safety/dress was paramount. (paramount is totally my word of the week  )

If he wasn't allowed to wear a headband, they shouldn't have promoted the season with a picture of him wearing a headband. They purposely took pictures of him in a uniform with an afro and the band to make it their poster advertising campaign. It's outright wrong for them to do that and not allow him to wear a headband. End of story.

It was of him in a Pistons uni and they transferred a Bulls uni on him. It's damn near impossible to remove a headband in photoshop and still make it look realistic.

I don't quite understand what you mean, but that's Eddie Robinson. |
