Your exact words are above, PIAA REF. If you want to lean towards sending a player out of the game for illegal wristbands, headbands, earrings, etc. without first giving that player a chance to quickly remove it, lean away.

I just don't agree with doing that. It has never been the purpose and intent of that particular rule to my knowledge.
