Dewey, maybe you don't work too many girls games. I do, and I see things added back, A LOT. Clippies at the back of the head, under the ponytail are the most common. I also regularly see hairbands magically appear on wrists. I've also seen the occasional earring re-appear after half-time. The part I don't understand is why the coaches don't just make them leave it all in the locker room.

Boys Varsity game last week. Player A1 was about to shoot a FT. Umpire was administering FT. He stopped, just before he bounced the ball to A1 and walked toward him. I was wondering what he was doing. The umpire took the rubberband from the player, which had been on his wrist, and continued with FT administration.

At halftime I told the umpire we should have caught that in warm-ups...he stated that it wasn't there in warm-ups. So there you go...even guys can add "stuff" occassionaly.
And I agree with JR...don't remove player from game...just get the junk off and continue playing.
