How about this solution:
R: "coach, you cant have 2 number 12s"
C: "well, I dont have an extra jersey."
R: "we can tape over one of the numbers and he can play, but you get a T for an illegal uni. Either that or you dont play him. Your choice."
And is that a better solution depending on the level of play? Is it unreasonable at the varsity or JV level to expect teams to have their unis right? A middle school game? Freshman game? Do you guys have a rule of thumb on when you would call this? (again, I am not presuming to know, I am just asking).
Or in the collective minds of the board is this akin to a "roster in the book by 10 minutes" thing that you would just let slide? And if we let is slide all the time, why is it a rule?
is there a point where you would call an illegal uni?
I remember playing (it was a men's league some years ago) and we had two guys with the same number. Ref said just what I quoted above: "put tape on and take a T or he doesnt play." And frankly I thought that was the right solution. We are adults. We didnt have our gear in order. The penalty is what the ref said.
