What is the penalty?

[Dewey1]

Chuck is right with the NCAA rules. I would be surprized though if this happened very often after tip-off if we as a crew are paying attention. I have never seen a player ADD jewlery after warm-ups. While watching the teams warm-up I look for jewlery, rubber bands miscoloured under-shirts etc. I often talk to them and remind them to remove the items. I have mentioned these items in coachs and captains meetings (depending on the level). I also look very closly when the team break their huddles and are coming onto the court.

I believe for the most part this is the type of thing that we can deal with before tip off. We should defenitly look at all subs before we beckon them onto the floor to play.

In the end there really is no foul penalty just a delay in having to deal with it once the game has started. Getting it before tip off really helps with game managment and the flow of the game.
