Why people argue about this
People often assume knee/elbow pads are explicitly banned in NCAA men's basketball due to their protective nature, which leads to misunderstandings about when they can be worn. In reality, the official verdict merely states that players may wear them as per the rulebook, leaving it up to individual coaches and teams to decide based on safety considerations rather than outright banning them.
