Arkansas High School Basketball Rules and Regulations?

Where can someone find this elusive document or documents? I've tried googling on the internet and have asked coaches and refs and no one seems to know. The Arkansas Actvities Asssoc has nothing from that I could find either.
I would like to look up some calls made by the refs during some of the games.
It seems they make some up as they go and have no backing or proof of the call.

I ALSO HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT THIS NEW RULE?? IN SOME GAMES WE (I AM A FEMALE ATHLETE) ARE TOLD THAT OUR ELASTIC HEADBANDS ARE ILLEGAL UNLESS THEY ARE THE SAME COLOR AS THE DOMINANT COLOR OF OUR UNIFORM. BUT WE ARE ALSO BEING TOLD THAT THEY DO NOT COUNT AS A "SWEAT BAND" IN THE RULING SO THEY CAN BE ANY COLOR. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE CLARIFY THIS FOR ME AND MY FELLOW TEAMMATES?

Not surprising that some coaches don't know where to find a rule book.

I also find it hard to believe that you have contacted the AAA for help. You can purchase a rule book from them. The address and/or phone number can be found on www.ahsaa.org.

If you will give us some specifics about the calls you want clarified we'll be glad to try and get them answered for you.

Hair restraints may be of any color. Headbands must either be all white or the same predominent color of the uniform. You can't mix and match. By definition, there is a difference between a hair restraint and a headband.

thanks rulesman

Thanks rulesman no offense but I want to read it in black and white. Everyone has their opinion or take on almost all calls.

Wouldn't surprise me if some of the refs in Arkansas don't know where to find one either.

I officiate and with all respect officials have and know where to get rule books.

FT, if you do not mind then where could we find this product; surely there is an electronic version somewhere.

I see that some/most refs need to actually read it and abide to it.

If you will go back and read my first response, I told you where you could obtain a copy of any rule book published by the National Federation. The Federation does not make these available online to the general public.
