My point was that in volleyball, they WANTED the rule because of girls taking off their jerseys to change sides. It applies specifically to blood situations, and to before and after the match when girls might be changing to or from street clothes. Any basketball official who has done volleyball, and then sees girls OR boys changing in the gym, might not want to stick the kids, but might believe that this is what the Rules Committee was addressing. This official (me, for instance) might feel compelled to T kids up for this, even though it would go against the better judgment. If it's only for a kid yanking a jersey off in frustration at a call, it better say that in the rule change proper.
