Case book plays are very specific - REMOVE THE PLAYER.
Not sure how these plays became related to rule 2-4-5
Rule 2-4-5 ...Prior to each contest, the head coach shall verify that his/her team member's uniforms and equipment are legal and will be worn properly, and that all participants will exhibit proper sporting behavior throughout the contest.
but the case plays are:
2.4.5 Situation A
Before the contest both coaches verify that their teams are legally equipped. In the third quarter A1 is discovered wearing a ring. RULING A1 must leave the game and remove the jewelry and may re-enter the game at the next substitution opportunity, but no penalty is assessed against A1 or the coach.
2.4.5 Situation B
To the referee's pre-game inquiry of coaches regarding all team members being legally equipped and wearing the uniform properly, both coaches responded "Yes." Three minutes into the first quarter, U1 observes A5 with a tongue stud. RULING: When the tongue stud is noticed, A5 must leave the game and may not return until the stud has been removed. There is no technical foul assessed. (3-5-6)
3-5-6 Jewelry shall not be worn.
Avoid the conflict and ensure no jewelry before the game starts, during warm-ups.
Thanks, Bob!

Um, Tony, I'm not sure where you got 2-4-5 from or who mentioned it. Also, Bob is saying that you
don't haveta remove the player. Bob is saying that the player can stay in and shoot the FT's wearing the jewelry.
Casebook play 3.5.5SitA(c) is the reference that we've been using--
"Substitute A6 is beckoned and enters the court to replace A1. A6 is wearing jewelry--RULING-The items are illegal...and A6 will not be allowed to participate while wearing the items. No penalty is involved. A6 simply cannot participate until the the illegal items are removed(3-5-6)". Now, after reading that, how can you let a player
participate in a free throw while wearing jewelry? And aren't the casebook plays that you cited above saying exactly the same thing? In both cases, the player must leave the game? Immediately? Not sticking around to shoot a FT or 2 first before they leave?
