conference, you warn him/her on Tuesday, then Thursday, different set of umpires are
at the game, coach "no shows" for conference, another warning? This needs to be
reviewed and changed somewhat.

This is a new penalty for an illegally equipped player, not for non-attendance at the pre-game meeting. As mentioned before, we used this in PA this year, but we were even stricter. On the first offense (jewelrey, etc), the team was warned and the coach restricted to the dugout. For any subsequent offense, the head coach was ejected (and suspended for the next game). You'd be amazed at how quickly jewelry disappeared by the second week of the season.
However, on first reading, I also thought what you did. It needs to be phrased more clearly in the rulebook.
