So it is not unreasonable to return to the dressing room, but not required to return to the dressing room? Personally I do not feel I should call a T to change a bloody jersey, but if the rule tells me to I will.
What is the coaching box actually defined as?

I do not think you would call a "T" just because of blood on a jersey and it needs to be changed. A "T" is used when a player deliberately removes his/her jersey while on the court, such as showing you up with acts of unsporting behavior or showing off his/her undies/boxers for the crowd. It is a judgment call based on the rules and pre-game conference with your partner. The solution when a player has blood on jersey or needs to change, would direct the player to change in a dressing room or away from the view of others, right?
Contact your association. Each has their own guidelines, just like some states allow a mercy rule with conditions while others have not adopted the mercy rule.

You said earlier,"I agree with yours and JRutledge replies. I just do not understand why so many basketball official's can not comprehend the NFHS rule book and why do so many of us try to re-write or interpret the rules to their own thought process."
So which is it?
