Tonight I had a similar situation to the one that started this thread. Player A1 had earrings on, I told the coach he can't play with them on. Coach says "oh he just got them and he'll just tape over them". I didn't respond but just waited and a few seconds later he was telling his player to take them out. I learned silence can be powerful in the right situation. I was prepared to come back with "well the holes will not close up that fast", but didn't need to say anything. I drew the line and the coach just needed some time to realize it. Thanks Forum!
