The situation happened in a freshman boys game yesterday. I explained the rule to the coach and even showed him the rule book. His school is from a different association. he told me they said it was ok.
I certainly would not tell someone to take something off if they couldn't, but I told the coach the player could not play with it by rule. To say the laest he wasn't too happy. His team did win the game.

Without something written, I would have strongly requested the opposing coach's approval and then allowed the player to participate.
If you see no danger, then let the kid play.
The spirit and intent of the rules is not to sit a kid for religious reasons without something in hand.
What if the coach had said, "I have it in writing, but I am sorry, I don't have it with me."
