Sadly, I sometimes believe they're telling the truth.

zm1283-man even as a volleyball ref I know this rule cause its exactly the same.I would hope that your assignment coordinator pulled some assignments from those guys for passing on an obvious safety issue? My question for these guys would be what constitutes properly and legally equipped? I know I would hear about it from my superiors if I ever passed on earrings on a player.

Last night must have been special, all across the country . . .
W/JV: 2 players warming up with headphones, 2 others with shirts out, 1 with ear studs.
And you guessed it: You're the first ref that's said anything about it!" - as another teammate rolled her eyes in sarcasm . . .

The worst part was the attitude of my partner, who had refused to talk to the girls, at his end of the floor. But, he quickly found out that I wasn't going to let it pass. I don't know whether he was just timid or just didn't think it was no big deal (?!?)

They probably are telling the truth. Just look at them and ask "And you point would be?"

Normally that confuses them so much they just shrug and rectify the situation.
