PU asked later why I didn't give a warning to the coach/team.
Kind of goes to the question to the coaches about their teams being properly and legally equipped and will remain so for the rest of the game.
For me, I just felt we shouldn't start the game on an adversarial basis.

Good preventative umpiring. I have done this several times this season. I look to avoid problems, rather than deal with problems. Letting a player know (or the coach of the player), that they still have jewelry on is a simple way of showing you are paying attention.
