Unfortunately, Jim, the NFHS made it perfectly clear that it IS the intent of the rule. When the rule was introduced last year, we were told that if a player was sent out of the game for having blood on his shirt and he changed it at the bench, then it was a technical foul. No ifs, ands, or buts. There is to be no removal of shirts, period, in the visual confines of the gym.

be more careful in your instructions, like saying "Go back to your locker room and remove your undershirt", not just "Take your undershirt off".

I think this is good advice, regardless of the intent of the rule.
