A head coach I worked under let guys do whatever they wanted for that stuff so long as it wasn't a distraction. We went into half against a rival up like 7-0 once when it should've been about 30 and he laid into them about spending too much time getting their eye black just right and not enough time preparing, everybody wanted to look tough but nobody wanted to act tough. IMO this is a BS reason to lay into kids. If the kids didn't prepare enough, it is our faults as coaches for allowing it to happen. If we don't squash that mentality early we deserve to have it bite us in the butts. I don't over regulate on things like this because I feel they are non-factors in games. I get the "little things win games approach" but I think that little things that happen at practice on a daily basis are the things you focus on. As long as kids are on time, and give you everything they have during practice, let them be them and express themselves. If it costs us 15 yards or it starts taking away from the team, then its my business. Yeah that's fair. That particular team we had kind of an issue with guys doing their own thing sometimes and I think it came to fruition there and the ass chewing kicked them into gear. Kids are gonna be kids and if they want to wear "war paint" or whatever then go for it, just do your job too.
