LJ,
Here is what I do. At pre-game, always ask the normal "Are players properly equipped and attired?" You will always recieve a yes. If bandaged ears (or any other non allowed items) are then noticed, ask coach is this player wearing these to hide ear piercings? and coach, if you tell me no, you are assuming all liability for injuries to this player. The coach will take care of the matter, and you won't have to remove anything. I have never had a HS coach try and circumvent safety rulings such as this in either boy's or girl's ball. Their reputations, and careers are on the line. They are busy though and may not notice a player trying to sneak something by.
