And, since this was a HS game, I would have called time when I first saw the jewelry and warned the head coach that his shortstop was wearing an earring. This would have accomplished several things: the coach would likely lecture his entire team to remove the jewelry, and it would have likely resulted in the second offense not happening, but if it did it would have given the required team warning so subsequent violations could be handled properly with the player and coach restricted to the bench.
