I might make a suggestion. Take a look at how NFHS wants the shirt rul called. The rule was meant to penalize this exact behavior and is spelled out clearly in all the books... This is not overly officious. The NFHS put into their interp something to the effect that it is not unreasonable for players to go to the locker room to change a bloody shirt.
Given the bench decorum emphasis that NFHS is placin, and if you look at the nCAA and the emphasis they are putting on bench decorum- we ought to call it.
Now some prevent officiating will go a long way because an onservant official will hear coach tell A1 and A15 to exchange jerseys and the official can suggest that players do it in locker room or hall.
The other point if this is A1 (start player) A is trying to get player back in game and gain an advantage not allowed by rule (getting th person in faster) They go change the shirt A1 goes in the next time after being ready.
