"Coach, that eye black pattern is being interpreted by this board as intimidation and taunting. If your players want to continue to use eye black, it must be applied in a way consistent with its intended usage."

We have a lot more clean faces now! ;-)

My sentiments exactly. If a HC has players that are intimidated by "war paint" then he has bigger problems with his team to deal with.
