Some people seem to be missing the point of the no jewelry requirement under both NFHS and NCAA rules...The game officials responsiblity is to see that players who are wearing jewelry do not play in the game.

Exactly, which does NOT preclude them from waiting for the
player to take the jewelry off, IMO. Apparently the NCAA
rules committee agrees: Look at 3-7-6 and related A.R.17 & 18. I hope this is enough to put this to an end.

The intent of A.R. 17 is to state that A6 cannot enter the game while wearing jewelry. A6 must be ready to enter the game when beckoned into the game. If A6 is wearing jewelry, he/she cannot enter the game and the game officials should not delay putting the ball back into play in order for A6 makes him/herself legal to enter the game.
As far as A.R. 18 is concerned, the game officials are give two choices on how to handle A5's wearing of jewelry. In both cases the game must be stopped. The game officials can either delay the game long enough for A5 to make him/herself legal or to make A5 leave the game and not return until he/she is legal.
My modus operandi is to have A5 leave the game. I do not like to delay play to allow A5 to make him/herself legal when she knows she was illegal to begin with. Having A5 leave the game until he/she is legal makes more sense than delaying the game. And fortunately A.R. 18 gives the game officials the option to do that if they so desire

AR 17 ruling states: "Substitute A6 shall not be permitted
to enter before removing the jewelry..." and goes
on to say that A6 can't "buy" his way into the game wearing
jewelry by taking a T. It says nothing whatsover about
refusing to allow A6 to enter if the jewelry is removed.
This is further backed up by AR 18, which quite explicitely states A6 can remove the jewelry & stay in the game. These 2 rulings define exactly how jewelry should be
handled for subs & players. No ifs, ands or buts.
Now, if the intent of AR 17 was to prevent A6 from
entering a reasonable person would expect it to say "A6
cannot enter the game until the next opportunity to do so".
But of course it doesn't.
As to your MO, that's fine, but don't you think it's uhmmm,
unfair to position your MO as rule when in fact it is
nothing more than how you like to handle it?

Dan_ref: Read ALL of A.R. #18 RULING: The game shall be stopped. A5 shall be required to remove the jewelry immediately OR (bold letters my emphasis) be required to leave the game and not return until after removing the jewelry. A5 cannot "buy" the right to wear the jewelry by being charged with an indirect techncial foul.
