What's the penalty in basketball if you miss an improper uniform? Force the coach to play a sub or take a timeout while the uni is corrected? Technical foul? (I really don't know)
Depends...if you're talking about an illegal uniform, then it's ONE technical foul issued to the head coach for any and all violations. If it's for jewelry, you'd either make them take care of the issue right on the spot (something like a player wearing a necklace), or the official could ask for a substitute for said player. In no way would a player be handed a technical foul for jewelry.

I will say this, this is one of the stupidest rules I've seen in any sport. How has anyone not purposed a rule change to this?
