Thanks Steve,

I just wanted to make sure I wasn't crazy. I know what Marty and PIAA mean, the interp in the bulletin is pretty clear. I sent that to these coaches and they still want to dispute the ruling.

Just to be clear. The first player seen wearing jewelry receives no warning. He is restricted to the bench and then the penalties escalate as the interp indicates.

Thanks,

Yes, however I don't think we eject the players though, just keep restricting them.

I do a similar thing as UmpJM and nobody has a problem with it. Keeps you out of trouble. We should write to Marty or Dr. Lombardi and tell them this rule is just causing problems and they should take out the modification.
