Iirc, after a long discussion, the consensus was that there was no consensus. It depended on how you interpreted the rules, and they could be interpreted differently. There were grey areas in the language. Also iirc, I was on the "who gives a sh!t during warm-up" side. Part of the argument also was if you're gonna enforce the shirt-tucked-in during warm-up, you also gotta enforce it during the whole game at all times. And that includes while a team member is sitting on the bench, waiting to sub in, walking off the court at half-time, etc. Personally, I somehow didn't think that was the purpose and intent of the rule.

But also iirc, BktBallRef said that NC had mandated that they enforce that rule during warm-ups.

Sorry that I really can't give you anything definitive, Dude.....
Fair enough, and yes I remember discussing this...just didn't remember the consensus (or lack thereof).

I like your thoughts on the players on the bench, etc....I think that re-enforces the "leave it alone" camp.
