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.
