It isn't just about protecting the player wearing the earrings. Don't the other players on the court have to be protected from the possibility of suffering an injury from someone else's jewelry? Why wasn't the OP concerned with getting them to sign waivers as well?

As stated in the OP, I asked the TD to sign the waiver as well as the girl's parent.
Your point is correct. Of course, none of the other girls complained nor did their parents or coach.
There is something at play with girl's basketball that this problem comes up repeatedly. TD's at many levels are not willing to stand up to the few players who want it all ways -- play; wear what they want; no responsibility for their actions. Overgeneralization? Yes. But it comes up often enough that there is more than a little truth to it.
