I am of the younger generation and I have both my ears pierced. I sometimes where loops and studs depending on what I have or what I am wearing. If I cannot wear them as an official, neither can the players. And better yet, they are the ones that can get hurt from them.

You can get hurt with stud earrings. All they have to do is get caught on something and rip the ear or poke another player and bleed. It might be unlikely, but it can happen. Basketball is a contact sport and if players are making contact which can be at times hard, you open yourself for not preventing an injury.

What other rules are we going to overlook?
