Back In The Saddle During the game A1 tells you, "I think B1 is wearing a tongue stud," do you: A) Ask B1 to stick out her tongue, and check? B) Tell A1, "If I see it, I'll deal with it"? C) Tell B's HC about the report and ask him to deal with it?
muxbule I would vote for a modified A. I would not ask B1 to stick out their tongue but I would simply ask if B1 had a tongue stud and go from there. Is this a trick question or is there more to it. There is always thought and reasoning behind a BITS posting.
Back In The Saddle Snaqwells wroteIsn't that illegal in Utah? Get a search warrant. Be sure to send both teams to their benches before contacting the judge.

Raymond Nevadaref wroteBoth B and C. I'll go with some form of 'B'. However I'm not doing 'C'. I'm not going a HC to tell him/her that "an opponent thinks your player has a tongue ring in."
Scrapper1 I go with B, as well. The only time I used C was when I noticed a girl during warmups with a navel-piercing. I told the coach she couldn't play with it in, but that I was making it his responsibility because I obviously was not going to ask her to show me.
jdmara Honestly, my reaction would be based on the gender of the player. If it is a male, I would ask the player if they have a stud in their tongue. If the student is female, I would ask the coach to address the potential problem or at least have the coach present when I ask. -Josh

How did you notice a players navel bling?😃
rgncjn If alerted during warm ups: I would pay attention to see if I notice the jewelry. If I do not notice anything out the ordinary, I will deal with the situation when the jewelry is discovered. If alerted during the game: I will wait until I see something that gives me a reasonable suspicion that the player has jewelry.

rgncjn Nevadaref wroteDo you treat blood in the same manner? Actually had blood in tonight's game. The opposing coach informed me that a kid had a bloody nose. I halted the game instantly to have the problem remedied.
Nevadaref rgncjn wroteActually had blood in tonight's game. The opposing coach informed me that a kid had a bloody nose. I halted the game instantly to have the problem remedied. So if the opposing coach alerted you to a player wearing jewelry would you "[halt] the game instantly to have the problem remedied?"
rgncjn Nevadaref wroteSo if the opposing coach alerted you to a player wearing jewelry would you "[halt] the game instantly to have the problem remedied?" Nope. Blood warrants the stoppage. A player wearing a tongue stud does not take priority in my view.
Nevadaref rgncjn wroteNope. Blood warrants the stoppage. A player wearing a tongue stud does not take priority in my view. Ah, therein lies the problem. Why are both rules in place?
rgncjn Nevadaref wroteAh, therein lies the problem. Why are both rules in place? So, you're going to stop play and deal with the tongue stud as soon as you are alerted?
truerookie Easy, I will penalize once discovered. During the coaches meeting when I ask them(coaches) if their team is properly equipment and they verify and say yes. This include tongue stud. Shoot two ball division line opposite table. I know some will not agree but it is what it is.

There is absolutely no rules support for issuing one.
