I have always been taught that we should just say the player "can not play with jewelry" rather than "Have this jewelry removed"; because that is the rule and we are not authorized to tell anyone what they can wear when not playing. There is also some possibility of "injury" while removing the item, and we don't want to start any more nonsense lawsuits. [/QUOTE]
Semantically, you are probably correct. I guess I have encountered too many...ah...er...let's say folks who have stood there and waited for me to TELL them their options after noting that the player could not participate with jewelry on. However, I do not see the litigeous side as I offered the coach an option to removing the jewelry
