Intent to Deceive?

[rainmaker]

During warm-ups in my JV game tonight, checking wrists for bands. See a sweatband, but don't investigate. Middle of 2nd quarter, I notice something peeking out from under the sweatband. Go to player, ask, "Do you have anything under that sweatband?" SHE SAID, "NO". But I reached out and just touched the band, and there was obviously something there. I said, "You can't play with that on." She said sorry, and took if off. I said, "I hope you weren't trying to deceive the ref." She mumbled, and walked off. At half-time, I told the coach, and asked him to deal with it.

I'm trying to be less confrontational, and less quick on the trigger, so I didn't throw a T here. I figured, if telling the coach is the way to get a better game, that's the best thing to do.

I'd be interested in hearing what others might have done.
