At the Captain's meeting they are specifically told about jewelry. At the coaches meeting - we ask the coaches, "Are your players properly equipt and ready to play?"

If after that I notice a player on the court with jewelry on......TWEEEEET! "Coach, I need another player, this one's not ready." AND, I send them off. No taking it off as they walk to the bench, etc. They're gone until the next dead ball.

Usually, the players learn quickly and it's not a problem as the yr goes on.

We've had the discussion about body piercings here before too.

Bottom Line - If I see it I take care of it.

Hey, grune, got a rules citation to back up the procedure that you use?
