The FED has laid out in detail exactly how they want these situations handled. There is NO guesswork or judgement involved. You do NOT ask a player to take off jewelry. You tell them that they have to leave the court immediately until they do take off the jewelry. If they choose to wear jewelry, that is their right. But they have to do so on the bench, not on the court. If the player wants to argue or doesn't want to leave, that's when you can get into technical fouls if needed. Usually a word to the coach is all that it takes. I have never seen or heard of a player refusing to leave the court when asked to get rid of his jewelry.

personally i think anyone who comes on a message board and says something like that thinks a little too highly of themselves. i understand the rule. if you are saying there is no judgement to be used in this case i say you are mistaken, but i won't say you "need to read the rules" because i am here for discussion not to pass judgement on others...and i have worked with some high level HS officials who have handled this situation the same way...do what you want, but take the self importance somewhere else...
