Okay, I'll spell it out. I fail to follow the sequence of events. The fact that the coach has said "Yes, my players are properly equipped," means that the player has to leave the game to remove his necklace as opposed to tossing it to the bench. A delay of the game? The toss to the bench, for most items, would be just as quick if not quicker. It is specified that the player with the shirttail out "shall be directed to leave the game." Likewise for the player with blood on the uniform. If that is the intent, WHY would it not be stated somewhere in 3-5 that a player with one of these illegal items must leave the game for its removal/adjustment?
This is right up there with the official notifying the teams that the first horn has sounded during a timeout.
"What? Damn, didn't hear that horn! Thanks for the notification, Mr. Ref."
