Players can't wear wedding rings, either; but we (as in the officials in my area) do. I think it looks unprofessional but this reasoning doesn't mean much to me.

While that's true in my area for HS, I know it is now not allowed in NCAA-W.

Obviously, check local listings.

(However, it's still my opinion that it doesn't look professional at any level to do the pocket thing, whether it's a whistle, chapstick, or beef stick.)

+1...as well as wearing anything on a wrist.

It's telling imo, is what it is.
