I agree about not touching players (and I don't think the sex of the official or the player enters it). Nothing in any manual requires touching, and we fulfill our obligations by asking the coach whether the players are legally equipped. If coaches negligently or knowingly answer incorrectly, the liability is theirs (and liability is what this is about, after all).
I also agree with the strategy of enforcing the rule rather than telling players or coaches what to do: "she can't be on the court wearing illegal equipment, coach." Perfect.
