Sit: A1 gets hit in nose starts bleeding. Goes to bench with towel play resumes. A1 gets bleeding stopped but coach notices blood on shirt, coach comes over and tells A15 to give up his jersey, so they both take off shirt and A1 now has A15's jersey number, A1 wanting to check in, official blows whistle as they see A1 putting on the other jersey as he is running to check in, A15 is sitting on the bench in his under armour  What do you got????

There's no T for changing the jersey and the scorebook in this situation.
There are two direct T's to the A1 and A15 for removing the jersey (assming the official saw it). Since they were bench personnel at the time, it's also two indirects on the coach.

Why would this be technical fouls? Isn't the idea for the T for removing the jersey addressing "unsportsmanlike behavior" like a player pulling their jersey out to show up a ref? I don't think it was meant to penalize a player for giving up their jersey to a another who has blood on their jersey. The common sense thing to do here would be to just go over to the scorer's table and instruct the scorer to change the scorebook with no penalty. Then tell the coach to notify the officials beforehand next time. Then let A1 into the game. IMO, technical fouls here are overly officious.
