"Well, the referee last week let us tape them. What, you hate little girls or are you just power mad?" (Ok, I made that last sentence up.)

I prefer to tell them they cannot play with them in.

True. And in fact I did tell an irate 6th grade Mom, that her daughter didn't have to take them out, but she didn't have to play either. She got the point.

Are you a lawyer?

Don't need to be a lawyer. It's simply not true that they must take them out. If they don't mind sitting, they can leave them in.

Well, when I am having a conversation with a coach there are certain things that are implied. Such as, the girl is in the layup line in uniform, she intends to play. Well if she does, she has to take the earings out first. I was relaying somthing that actually happened. The coach knew what I was saying. The communication was accomplished. In my case, I wasn't writing a script.

Another Gotcha.

I agree, it's semantics. They all mean the same thing and the coaches and parents hear them the same way.

I still remember the MS boys game a few years ago when one of the players asked me if he had to remove his nipple ring.

One of the things that I don't like to be is the uniform police. But its required and so we do it. But I draw the line at telling some girl her bra is the wrong color.

I had a situation like this in my very first game.

I noticed a girl had a "cast" of some sort on her finger. I asked if I could inspect it. When I looked at it I noticed it was made of hard plastic. I informed the coach that she could not play with it. Out of nowhere, a Mom from the stands comes storming down and I'm thinking to myself: "Oh boy, here we go... what I wonderful way to start off the season." The Mom brings it to the coach's attention that she should just wrap it with padding. The coach says: "Ok, we'll just wrap it." "Coach, that doesn't work either." She can't play with it at all, padded or not.

Mom told her that it was "ok" to not play with it as they were seeing the Doc the next day - whatever. Everything died down from there and we continued....

Ahhh, what a way to start the season.
