Similar experience a few years ago
Varsity girls vocational technical high school game. I noted a home team player with extremely long nails warming up.
I explained to her that she could not play with such long nails. She told me that she couldn't trim her nails because her nails were part of her mid-year exam the next morning in her advanced cosmetology class.
She really wanted to play, so she trimmed them.
At halftime, her mother came out of the stands to politely question my ruling.
"No ma'am, I didn't tell your daughter to trim her nails, I told that she couldn't play with her nails that long."
