Mark that may be true in the USA where people get sued for looking at each other crosseyed. I can't say for sure but I think as long as the legal parent or guardian takes the responsibility for the child ( as long as no other person(s)) will be involved. Then I am not liable. That being said, I have agreed that it was not a normal situation and would not allow it to happen at a regularly sanctioned game. This was a pre preseason scrimmage where the teams were jsut starting out for the year and they had us out to run some FIBA rules for them to get used to. It was overly informal, running time, unlimited number of time outs all for the purpose of the coaches seeing the kids on the floor. I agree with what you are saying Mark, 100% and in hindsight it could have been a bad experience. I for one have never seen an incident involving earrings in 27 years though and after consulting with my partner, coaches and parent we went with what we had.
BY RULE NO JEWELERY IS TO BE WORN. I know this rule and want to re enforce it to anyone who is thinking that it can be arbitrarily ignored.
Thanks for your comments. I learn each time I go on the floor.
