There goes our guy iRut again changing the subject to deflect the argument once he knows that he is losing the point. Let's get back on point.

This topic is not about discussions with coaches, it is about enforcing a clear rule when players/team members remove their shirts within the visual confines of the playing area. There is no discretion required. It either happened or it didn't. The NFHS made it very clear that this rule shouldn't be ignored under any circumstances when making the change back in 2005-06.

COMMENTS ON THE 2005-06 RULES REVISIONS
JERSEYS/PANTS/SKIRTS PROHIBITED FROM BEING REMOVED (3-4-15, 10-3-7h, 10-4-1h): A team member is prohibited from removing his/her jersey and/or pants/skirt within the confines of the playing area. The penalty is a technical foul. The former uniform rule didn't require team members to actually wear the team uniform. This addition also addresses a growing behavioral concern of players removing their jerseys to demonstrate frustration or anger and as a means of attracting individual attention. The rule is intended to be applied in all situations - even when a player must change uniforms due to blood or other unusual circumstances. It is not unreasonable to expect team members to go to their locker rooms to change their jerseys.


Of course, officials such as yourself who lack rules knowledge and just do as you please on the court will certainly have trouble with such things.

PS You're not only arrogant and ignorant, but you're condescending too.
