The only reason that case play is in this year is for those teams that didn't purchase the REQUIRED white uniforms and in those states that want you to penalize with a 'T".

This year they add 3-4-6 a & b and add case play 3-4-6 Only for the Required white jersey rule. If you could buy a player in with a T then we should've been able to do it last year. .
Are you serious?

You couldn't buy a player in with a "T" last year because there was NO rule last year requiring the home team to wear white jerseys. There was also no case play in last year's book for the same reason... that there was no rule last year making it mandatory for the home team to wear white jerseys.

To repeat, there was NO rule in effect last year making it mandatory for the home team to wear white jerseys. That rule was instituted THIS year. Don't you own this year's rulebook? If you do, take a look at the EDITORIAL CHANGES in the front and POE #1 in the back.

Illegal shirts are penalized with a technical foul. After being charged with a technical foul, a player can wear that illegal shirt in the game(as long as it contrasts with their opponent's jerseys). If you think otherwise, or still would like to insist that a player can't participate wearing an illegal jersey, post a rules citation of some kind that will back up your theory.


Btw, case book play 3.4SitB also talks about players wearing illegal shirts. Note that the players in that case play can participate with those illegal shirts after being penalized with a technical foul. Also note that case book play 3.4SitB was in last year's book. And the year before...and the year before....and... Iow, a team could buy a player with an illegal shirt into the game with a "T" last year.

Lah me......
