Until the mid-90's both the NFHS Officials Manual and the CCA Manual (NCAA) allowed officials to wear wedding rings only. In the mid-90's the CCA Manual without comment added the prohibition of wearing wedding rings. I was officiating basketball long before I met my better half so I have never worn my wedding ring even for high school games. But one should not wear a wedding ring while officiating a college game but can wear one while officiating a high school game. Wearing a wedding ring is no big deal as far as I am concerned unless it is some big guady one (and that probably applies only to female officials and I am not trying to be an oinker, just an observation made over my lifetime). As far as the assinger is concerned he is being anal about the wrong things that officials do.
