As an official I hate to see coaches and officials who do not know the rules.
As a coach do not *****, ask questions, treat the official the way you wish to be treated as a Ref. it will go a long way, NEVER use the I am a referee quote!
As far as the situation you mention with the jersey I do not have an NFHS book with me but in my opion the official was correct since the player was instructed by the offical to make the change and if the appropriate time out was taken to buy his way into the game, then I would have told you the same thing.
I do not deal enough with high school to know that it differs, but in a collegiate game this would never be an issue and it really shouldn't be in yours.
If you start trying to pull out little technicalities on an official they might just pull out something you might not be aware of, or big TECHNICALITY on you or your head coach for openly questioning their decisions?
