"Guts" "Big Calls" during a little girls basketball game? Man, some people take this stuff way to seriously!!!
I think you're missing the point. It shouldn't take "guts" to make a player remove her earrings. It is a simple rule that does not involve any judgement. It is as simple a rule as allowing no more than 5 players per side--no room for judgement here.
In my opinion, a referee who cannot enforce the simple rules that do not require a judgement to be made will have a tough time making the judgment calls, when no matter what you call 50% of the people will agree and 50% won't agree. If you can't handle the "heat" reagrding earrings, don't even set foot into the "kitchen" of a game--even ten year-olds don't want you.
