Hidden jewelry

During the game A1 tells you, "I think B1 is wearing a tongue stud," do you:

A) Ask B1 to stick out her tongue, and check?
B) Tell A1, "If I see it, I'll deal with it"?
C) Tell B's HC about the report and ask him to deal with it?

Isn't that illegal in Utah? Get a search warrant.

I would vote for a modified A. I would not ask B1 to stick out their tongue but I would simply ask if B1 had a tongue stud and go from there.

Is this a trick question or is there more to it. There is always thought and reasoning behind a BITS posting.

Be sure to send both teams to their benches before contacting the judge.

Both B and C.

I'll go with some form of 'B'.

However I'm not doing 'C'. I'm not going a HC to tell him/her that "an opponent thinks your player has a tongue ring in."

I go with B, as well.

The only time I used C was when I noticed a girl during warmups with a navel-piercing. I told the coach she couldn't play with it in, but that I was making it his responsibility because I obviously was not going to ask her to show me.

Honestly, my reaction would be based on the gender of the player. If it is a male, I would ask the player if they have a stud in their tongue. If the student is female, I would ask the coach to address the potential problem or at least have the coach present when I ask.

I didn't realize anyone did pre game uniform checks in women's games. I thought that was more of a football thing.

If alerted during warm ups: I would pay attention to see if I notice the jewelry. If I do not notice anything out the ordinary, I will deal with the situation when the jewelry is discovered.

If alerted during the game: I will wait until I see something that gives me a reasonable suspicion that the player has jewelry.

Do you treat blood in the same manner?

Actually had blood in tonight's game. The opposing coach informed me that a kid had a bloody nose. I halted the game instantly to have the problem remedied.

So if the opposing coach alerted you to a player wearing jewelry would you "[halt] the game instantly to have the problem remedied?"
