Issue fines to schools whose coaches aren't abiding the rules. Making it warning the first time, then a small fine, etc... I don't care. But we have enough to think about and do for the actual game.
And if they care so much about those fashion rules, then this is the best way to avoid them being broken.

For illegal
UNIFORMS, the head coach gets a direct T.
Everything else such as headbands, tights, sleeves, t-shirts, etc. are
PLAYER EQUIPMENT, and those rules apply.
As to penalties for illegal player equipment, currently the player(s) are simply not allowed to be on the court, including warm-ups, if they do not comply with those rules, but changes may be coming in the future - North Carolina is currently in the 2nd year of an experimental rule .....for illegal player equipment the head coach gets a direct T, just like for illegal uniforms.
