Well, when NFHS makes blanket rules like this, it doesn't make our job easier, it makes it harder.
For example:
Player A1 gets a bloody nose. Blood on uniform. Team A ia the visiting team with the coach as the only school representative. The coach wants A1 to swith jerseys with A15. You can't let A1 (or any player) leave the floor unattended to go to the locker room, and if A Coach leaves the floor to take his player to the locker room, he leaves the rest of his team unattended. A1 cannot remove his jersey in the "visual confines of the court."
What do you do? Do you cut Team A a break and let them change jerseys at the bench? Or do we T 'em up to show them we know the rules?
