which brings me to another aspect of it... In a game I did the other day, a player pulled her jersey up over her face for a moment, but she had a t-shirt underneath which did not get pulled up, and she attracted no attention to herself at all. It was just a private moment of frustration with herself. Is that within the rule to call, or not?

I don't think the rule is meant to address that situation, Juules. It addresses taking the shirt off, not pulling it up.

According to the NFHS web site, the rule is meant to address that exact same situation. Under 2005-06 POE's --"A"- it says "pulling the uniform out of the shorts in an emotional display" is a "T".
Terrible call if the player was just frustrated though.

While I agree with your characterization of "Terrible call", isn't frustrated precisely the same as and emotional display?

This is clearly the "Letter of the Law" vs the "Intent"
A player makes a mistake and is frustrated with themselves vs a situation where they disagree with a call.
I'm in the passing on that camp.
