Along these lines...I had a parent of a rec league kid question my decision about his kid's newly pierced ear. When I told him that earrings/jewelry were not allowed he wanted to know why...I told him safety of the player and the only exceptions in the rule book for any such item were for medical or religious medals. He tells me they are for religious reasons and they were taped...
I told him that I would not allow his son to participate with earrings in, he immediately asked me if I was questioning his religious belief and if I was, this was a road I didn't want to travel....
Being on the board, I did not want to stir the pot and the following week a revision on the rule was sent to all coaches to hand down...Kid didn't have his earring in the next week or the rest of the season...
