Yes, and often covered it, especially early in the season.

If you think they are entitled now, wait a few more years for the full effects of NIL to kick in..Yes they are. It’s still unsafe to wear it playing basketball. The question is do you want to wear a fashion statement or play the game. It’s metal so take it out!!! Why is that even a discussion. The assistant coaches ought to be telling the players this.
Doesn’t Geno have a rule about large tattoos be covered? If you want to play for UConn, you cover that tattoo. He also doesn’t allowed names on back of jersey. These are rules that the players follow. Too many entitled players making a stink. Get over yourself kids…
I believe Hannah said that she asked an official before the game if she could cover it up. She got permission to cover it, but at the start of the second quarter they made her take it out.Reading thru all these posts it appears:
ND was notified during game warmups HH would need to remove the stud.
At the end of the 1st quarter, ND was notified HH could not return until she removed the stud
If true ND was given ample notice but HH did not remove the stud. Given HH comments after the game she may have chosen to ignore the warning as some kind of "statement", or maybe she tried but it was just too difficult. I will give the benefit of the doubt and accept the second option as more likely.
They refs noticed the stud hadn't been removed but waited until the end of the quarter to require the removal. I suspect the refs expected the removal to take just a minute or even seconds. I believe the refs were more than accommodating on the issue.
P.S. I didn't see the game and I am relying on comments I have read in this thread.
I read somewhere that the gum chewing was allowed for Nika. It calms her down and keeps her focused. I don't think she did it her Freshman year, maybe her Sophomore year.CD had a rule, not Geno, but apparently that rule, and anti-gum chewing one, were tossed because Nika has visible body art and chews gum while playing .
If that is true, why didn't she state which ref said it was okay. I believe that the NCAA specifically stated that the rule was a point of emphasis starting in the Sweet Sixteen and all teams were notified of this in writing. So I blame ND for not having her take it out prior to play.I believe Hannah said that she asked an official before the game if she could cover it up.

It didn’t work that well last gameI read somewhere that the gum chewing was allowed for Nika. It calms her down and keeps her focused. I don't think she did it her Freshman year, maybe her Sophomore year.
I want to say that the last two fouls were from fatigue, but it most likely was from anger.It didn’t work that well last game
Ayanna Patterson’s left arm has a large tattoo, that’s covered during games.Nika has body art, not large tattoos. Didn’t Williams wear an arm sleeve to cover hers? Thought I saw her tattoo and she covered it.
Yes ... at least according to a USAToday article: "Hidalgo said one of the officials told her during warm-ups that she would need to take it out. She asked if she could cover it instead and said she was told that would be fine. At the end of the first quarter, however, Hidalgo said she was told it had to be removed. "I believe Hannah said that she asked an official before the game if she could cover it up. She got permission to cover it, but at the start of the second quarter they made her take it out.
CD definitely let more tattoos show in the last few years. Most are tasteful and small.
Also, maybe her coaches told her to remove it, but she was defiant, and did not remove it. Therefore, she suffered the consequences. Maybe, just maybe, her coaches will encourage her to follow the rules.If that is true, why didn't she state which ref said it was okay.

That is not entirely true. Oregon was good before Oregon State was when the had Coach Runge then the administration checked out on the program and got stupid. Lavonda Wagner was a dumpster fire. So if your definition of good is only based on FF appearances then there are alot of crappy teams out there. That is not the case.You know Oregon St. was good before Oregon was, right? They got to a Final 4 before Ionescu ever stepped on campus. Met UConn in the semis.
