I'd support either a Team T or a Direct Head Coach T for player equipment violations ONLY if they simplify the player equipment rules enough that they can actually be comprehensible to the layperson/below average official (because, let's be honest, it's really the fact that the below-average officials don't know/don't care/refuse to enforce these rules that we have any problems at all).
I've mentioned it before, but here's what I'd suggest for a player equipment rules: Anything that isn't jersey, shorts, shoes or socks: 1) must be solid black/white/jersey colored. 2) must be the same for all teammates. The jewelry rule can remain as-is. |

Except for shoes and socks and beige being a legal color, that is the case now. Good luck getting shoes covered. With the fit of shoes being of the greatest importance, I doubt you'll ever see a color restriction on them. Likewise with medical equipment. If a doctor directs them to wear a brace, I doubt they have the choice of colors.

Colour My World (Chicago, 1970) ...
From waist to knee, what's the difference (to an observer) between compression shorts (uniform color), short tights (black, white, beige, or jersey color, same color for all), or leg sleeves (black, white, beige, or jersey color, same color for all), that cover the entire thigh (waist to knee)?
And what defines a uniform color (compression shorts)? Jersey? Shorts? With the exceptions above, I agree that everything else is pretty simple. Get rid of all references to compression shorts in the rulebook and everything is pretty simple.

It just seems that calling a tech for something we should've caught earlier is going to make things worse for us, not better |

As for the illegal uniforms, it already is one T regardless of the number of offenders.

I was observing a game yesterday and about 2-3 minutes into the game, the trail official blows his whistle and assesses a technical foul against the player dribbling the ball for wearing one of those plastic bracelets. The coach protested, and the calling official gave him the stop sign, and said it was a technical foul. FTs were shot, and play continued. I was in the halftime discussion, and the calling official talked about how standing up to the coach in that discussion made for a better half as the coach, who can be a bit boisterous at times, and had been in the previous day's game, spent the half coaching his kids and not worrying about the officials' calls. When the calling official turned to me and asked my opinion, I asked, "But what if the coach was right?" The official said, "But he's not right, you can't play with jewelry, and it's a technical foul if you do." I explained that his statement was half right, but that if you discover a player wearing jewelry or any illegal jewelry, armbands, sleeves, etc., you simply direct them to leave the game and they can't return until it is fixed. He then stated that the coach is responsible for not allowing a player with an illegal uniform to play. So before I explained the difference between illegal uniforms(Rule 3-4, which is specifically cited in Rule 10-5) and illegal equipment and apparel(Rule 3-5), I asked him who he assessed the technical foul against. He stated that he had called it against the PLAYER. I then pointed out if it's a uniform violation the T should be on the COACH, not the PLAYER.

I do pride myself on knowing the rules and try to help educate those I work with. I also appreciate those who know and understand them better than I do and try to learn from them.
