College Intramural Playoffs Begin Tonight

[HoosierBuckeye Ref]

To go along with another thread (First Time, Long Time), I have read this forum for at least three years or so before I finally decided that it was worth the FREE registration to ask questions and pose situations.

At any rate, this forum has helped me greatly with many different aspects of my basketball officiating and I hope that continues as I just passed my test this past December (read the profile for my other history).

I have yet to do a "real" game with my patch, but I think the opportunities will arise next school year.

My first question is here at Indiana University (NFHS rules), the intramural playoffs are starting tonight (yes, I know how many of you feel about intramurals, but I treat it as thought it is a real game with regards to my mechanics and everything that goes along with that, mainly so I can be ready for next school year) and would you have any suggestions as to things to watch out for that you may have seen in your high school games this season?

During the season I was very leanient in giving T's for jewelry if I saw it as the game was taking place. I just told them to take it off, but now I realize since it is playoff time and every team is fighting for the chance to play at Assembly Hall in the final game, I am abandoning this thinking, and also the liability issue is too great (I never let them continue wearing it once I saw it). We go over these types of things in the captains meetings...of course, the college kids do not pay attention in those.

Sorry for the long winded post, I will add more as the playoffs progress and later tonight after my games.

Thanks for the help, it is appreciated.
