As Nevadaref stated, it was a proposed rule change, but one that was not, obviously, accepted by the committee.
It was proposed by Gene Menees of Hermitage, Tennessee.
The head coach shall not permit a team member to participate while wearing an illegal uniform or illegal apparel.
Penalty – Direct technical foul charged to the head coach. Rule 10, Section 6, Article 4: The head coach shall not permit a team member to participate while wearing an illegal uniform or illegal apparel.
Rationale: It makes the rule easier to understand by officials, coaches & players. We are spending more time discussing what is legal & illegal with uniforms & apparel than we are spending with hand checking, post-play, etc. It will also put more responsibility on coaches to make sure their players are dressed legally.
