You can't put the ball down / use the RPP (same this in this situation) because the freethrows are not following a timeout or intermission. Normally if a team refuses to provide a shooter in this case, it's a T to the player if he refuses.

While this exact situation is not necessarily covered in the rules/cases, I'm still inclined to use the "leaving the floor for an unauthorized reason" reference to give a T.
Why do you think a T is needed here? This has gone so far outside the bounds of the game that I'm not sure a T actually solves anything.

I don't have my books in front of me, but I suppose what could follow, if the kid won't come back on the floor, is a DOG warning? I don't know, I'm just trying to come up with a logical way to continue the game.
Can't have a DOG warning either.

The most logical way to treat this IMO is to use 2-3, treat the player as gone and get a sub in. Give a T for removing the jersey or leaving the floor if you must but I'd be inclined not to.
