If the issue is noticed before the game starts, but the team refuses to change the jersey number for whatever reason, is the player still allowed to play, with the same penalty to begin the game?
Class A or Class B technical? POI? How many free throws? Team foul or personal foul? Thanks.

This is under Admin Ts in the NCAAM rules book:
Art. 3. A team or team member shall not wear:
a. A number that is identical to that of a teammate.
b. An illegal number. (See Rule 1-22.7.b.2)
c. An illegal game jersey. This only includes the failure of a team to wear
contrasting uniform colors. Other illegalities shall be enforced by the
institution's conference. (See Rule 1-22)
PENALTY—One free throw awarded to the offended team. The ball shall be
put back in play at the point of interruption using the procedures in Rule
7-3.2.
(Art. 3.a) Penalized when discovered after the 10-minute time limit in Rule
3-4.1.
(Art. 3.b, 3.c) Penalized when discovered before the ball becomes live when
the individual is a player.
(Art. 3.c) When more than one team member violates, only one
administrative technical foul shall be assessed.
