So without casebook play 3.5.6 Sit B you would obviously allow a player to wear tights.
It certainly seems inconsistent to me to ban tights, but allow a long-sleeve undershirt.
There's no point in us wasting our time debating this. I've posed it to the NFHS rules committee. We'll let them decide.
PS If you are referring to the historical aspect as "my reasoning," then I should point out that that came straight from an NFHS interp, not me.
