Equipment manufacturers have undertaken the responsibility for the<br />

development of playing equipment that meets the specifications established from<br />

time to time by the committees. The NCAA urges manufacturers to work with the<br />

various independent testing agencies to maximize the safety of products. Neither<br />

the NCAA nor the NCAA Men’s and Women’s Basketball Rules Committees<br />

certify the safety of any basketball equipment. Only equipment that meets the<br />

dimensions specified in the NCAA Men’s and Women’s Basketball Rules shall be<br />

used in intercollegiate competition. Similarly, only uniforms that meet the rules<br />

specifications shall be used.<br />

While the committees do not regulate the development of new equipment and<br />

do not set technical or scientific standards for testing equipment or the approval<br />

or disapproval of specific playing equipment, the committees may, from time<br />

to time, provide manufacturers with informal guidelines as to the equipmentperformance<br />

levels they consider consistent with the integrity of the game. The<br />

committees reserve the right to intercede in order to protect and maintain that<br />

integrity.<br />

The NCAA Men’s and Women’s Basketball Rules Committees suggest that<br />

manufacturers planning innovative changes in basketball equipment submit the<br />

equipment to the NCAA Men’s and Women’s Basketball Rules Committees for<br />

review before production.
