What Are The Jewelry Rules For Officials?

[Love2ref4Ever]

I never wear my wedding ring during games. My wife asked me once,after we got married, How come you don't have your wedding ring on? My reply to her was that I am going to officiate a game, and I feel that if the players can't wear jewelry, then officials shouldn't either. I feel that jewelry has no place in sports, and there's another reason why I don't wear it. I believe that jewelry draws attention to a person.Plus, that kind of attention may be negative to an assigner who is looking for officials to work their conference. Meaning, if an assigner is trying to fill one vacant spot on his/her roster, and the choice came down to two officials. Now,both of these officials are good, but one has on a Mr.T starter kit (jewelry). I would put my money on the official who is not wearing the jewelry!
