The "headphones, earbuds, cell phones" warm-up issue has come up several times on the Forum.
While the IAABO interpretation is nice, and NFHS caseplay 3.5 SITUATION A that addresses jewelry helps a little, it sure would be nice to have a NFHS citation regarding headphones, earbuds, and cell phones during warm-ups (some state associations have already addressed this issue unilaterally).
