Rule 3-4-15 prohibits a team member from removing his or her uniform within the confines of the playing area. According to Struckhoff, players removing their uniforms to show disgust is becoming an increasingly popular trend.

Previously, there was no rule that specifically addressed players removing their jerseys. With the addition of this rule, the act will be penalized with a technical foul.
OUTSTANDING !!! I whacked 3 kids for this this past season
I am waiting for the official that is going to give a T for a player that is just changing their jersey and not reacting to an official.

Peace
Why would a player need to change his jersey on the "confines of the playing court"? Doesn't this mean the inbounds area? Can't the player change on the bench? Or, here's a novel idea ... How about changing in the locker room?

I just saw the real rule. Sorry. The paper got the rule wrong. What a surprise!

3-4-15, 10-3-7h New, 10-4-1i New:
Prohibits a team member from removing his/her jersey and/or pants/skirt within the visual confines of the playing area. The penalty is a technical foul.

Newer mind. (I've heard that somewhere before.)
