Break out the headbands, Jazz fans. After years of Utah unofficially—yet officially—having a no headbands rule, the headband is officially allowed. Eric Woodyard of the Deseret News—soon to be of ESPN—broke the news. When asking Quin Snyder if he’d allow Mike Conley to rock a headband, here was Snyder’s reply.
“He can wear it,” Jazz coach Quin Snyder told the Deseret News. “I might wear one, too.”
This has been a many years thing in the making. As we wrote about in July, this tradition goes back to Frank Layden and was confirmed as recently as the Ty Corbin era.
