If that does happen, I guarantee you (assuming we're dealing with a girls game, jewelry/piercings isn't that much if an issue with guys from my experience) that the first time she takes a hard bump/knee/contact (or biting down on a tongue stud) to an area with a piercing she will be thinking twice before wearing it out on the floor (halftime or next game) again.
I would hope that a player getting into the game of basketball realizes there is contact of varying degree and in knowing that would knowingly remove _any_ piercing as to avoid any type of injury sustained from wearing it during a game.
Just my two cents.
