Jewelry rule causes yelling

And what exactly is it that you do in this situation?

You say you have read the rule book. Have you read Rule 2 thoroughly?

I'm training myself not to do things like this all the time. I only do it when it looks to be a safety risk to those on the floor, or it's clearly visible. I believe in the "Out of sight. out of mind", so if it'd hardly noticeable I don't worry about it.

*nods* The most I'll do at the table is remind officials of the league and level-specific no-press rules and the mandatory sub rules when they take effect. I may also have them talk to coaches if the coaches are out of their box and obstructing my view, but I don't have the desire -- or time -- to pick boogers.

The rules I use are those listed off the NFHS Site for public viewing, as well as the Online Rules Clinic on the WIAA Site that's for public viewing.

When I let the floor officials know of the uniform or other thing I notice, I wait until a dead ball or a reporting occurs. If that player is subbed for, I let the book know that their coach needs to let that player know of their jersey. I wish I had access to the case book & rule book, unfortunately I do not.

You keep time. Stop the clock when I blow my whistle and start it when I chop. That's your job. Mine is to officiate the game. Never the twain shall meet. I'm not sure the coaches would view you any differently than a fan screaming from the stands.

Well, not to sound rude, but if it were my game after the first time I would ask you to refrain from such activity.

I'd offer to allow him more time to spend on crowd control.
