I don't refer to a specific rule when I tell them to get rid of the gum. I just tell them I've stepped on enough during games to know it causes too many problems. You have to stop the game, get it off the court, off your shoes or a player's shoes, etc. I am always amazed when I tell them to spit it out and they just look at me, swallow it, and grin. Kids. Go figure.
