This question is more towards Aaron, do you think the Bulls are right to fine Big Ben for wearing a headband? I think its really dumb both ways, but I think the Bulls should let him because in the end its just a headband, and its kind of like his trademark. Skiles is just being unreasonable and trying to be a hard ass coach by having the same rules for everyone. I think Ben should be able to wear the headband but let it be allowed for the other Bulls as well. I think its dumb, but what do you guy s think?

If I'm the Aaron you're directing this question toward, I 100% agree with the Bulls on this issue. Ben Wallace is still a favorite of mine, so it's not like I hold a grudge on this issue.
Ben Wallace knew the rule, though they told him after he signed and he, nor anyone else, is above the team. I think the rule is pointless, especially since the NBA allows players to wear headbands. In the end though, Ben Wallace works for the Bulls and he must follow the rules they have, since they pay him the 60 mm at the end of the day.
Also, if this was such a big deal, he could've talked to them, as he and Adrian Griffin did with the rule about taping ankles during practice. The two sides resolved the issue. Ben Wallace is, at times, a baby and this was just another instance. Hopefully the two sides come up with a compromise, but until they do, Ben Wallace shouldn't wear one.
On another note, this isn't just about the headband. It's a much bigger issue, and I'm pretty confident this is Ben Wallace missing his Detroit teammates/atmosphere. I really believe he didn't know what he had until it was gone, and he's starting to see this. From what I've read, he sits byhimself, has very few friends, and still continues to call all the Detroit players and front office personel.
Personally, I'm hoping the Bulls buy him out and Detroit signs him for the minimum, lol.

I wouldn't be surprised if Ben somehow ends up back in Detroit.

I wouldn't be surprised if Ben somehow ends up back in Detroit. I can see it years down the line, one final year for the minimum, something like that.

Supposedly Ben agreed he wasnt allowed to ware headbands before he signed his contract, but the league has a rule that states headbands are and can be part of your uniform. So both sides are at fault.

Skiles is the all time NBA leader in assists in a single game with 30.
