Thumbs down No Jewelry if I can see it

The jewelry issue seems to give more problems than anything at times.
Around here, I ask the proper questions of the coach.
If I see jewelry before the game, get rid of it. If I see it during the game, I make them burn a substitution. Kinda makes me a hard a$$ but the coaches know that I will stand firm so they make the girls get rid of it first.
If I see tape..........I am going to ask the girl directly and if she says it is just sore, I tell them to lightly squeeze the tape to show there is nothing underneath.
I do all of this while giving some graphic horror story of an incident involving jewelry (made up of course).
It usually scares them into taking it out without me needing to do anything about it.
I have seen some very ugly incidents with jewelry, I don't permit it.
Rarely does a coach buck up about jewelry but when they do, I simply ask them to come talk to the other coach with me. When we get together, I ask the opposign coach which rule he/she wants ignored for today's game as the first coach wants me to ignore the jewelry rule.
I think it is fair to allow the opposing coach to chose the rule they want ignored.....balance you know.

Have fun out there
