This is a State's option to utilize a coaching box and so is the mercy rule.

It appears as though the T for removing the jersey is not optional. THe wording is quite clear in the comments. The wording of the coaching box and the mercy rule both state clearly that they are optional. So I don't think you can compare.
I'm not saying I agree with this interp. I think it's assinine to make a player walk clear to the locker room to change a bloody jersey. But if they say we have to, then we have to. Intent isn't mentioned except to say that it doesn't matter.
