Socks are considered jewelry?

For medical or cosmetic reasons – In the event a participant is required by a licensed medical physician to cover his/her head with a covering or wrap, the physician's statement is required before the state association can approve a covering or wrap which is not abrasive, hard or dangerous to any other player and which is attached in such a way it is highly unlikely that it will come off during play.

Maybe she's covering her lobotomy incision? Mark Padgett, what did you use to cover your lobotomy incision?

For religious reasons – In the event there is documented evidence provided to the state association that a participant may not expose his/her uncovered head, the state association may approve a covering or wrap which is not abrasive, hard or dangerous to any other player and which is attached in such a way it is highly unlikely it will come off during play.

Maybe she belongs to the Corporal Louis LeBeau Church of the Blessed Beret?

Then, I might turn to my mentor for advice...of course Referee Schutlz would probably advise me to "Hear nothing and see nothing!"

I might have a tough time with that though.......

We do this thing every year it's called reviewing rule changes.

Try it some time, it will make you a better official.

Haven't had one. I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy.

No. The full moon was last night.

And the initial attack on my associations activities and basketball in general wasn't?

There is a rule change. We review them.

The rule change in question has sparked 2 pages of debate here and he is slagging how we talked about it?

I stand by my remarks.

At the Captain's meeting they are specifically told about jewelry. At the coaches meeting - we ask the coaches, "Are your players properly equipt and ready to play?"

If after that I notice a player on the court with jewelry on......TWEEEEET! "Coach, I need another player, this one's not ready." AND, I send them off. No taking it off as they walk to the bench, etc. They're gone until the next dead ball.

Usually, the players learn quickly and it's not a problem as the yr goes on.

We've had the discussion about body piercings here before too.

Bottom Line - If I see it I take care of it.

Hey, grune, got a rules citation to back up the procedure that you use?
