Illegal uniform number

And it would apply to all uniform/apparel issues that are regulated.

I like that better.

I have to take the other side of the fence and disagree with this. If you have a uniform violation that is discovered while playing, then that means we screwed up somewhere along the way, because they shouldn't be allowed to have played in the 1st place. While I admit I haven't thought a ton about this, If a technical rule was introduced, I think it would need to be either change all uniforms to be legal (one warning) or take a single tech to cover all infractions, similar to the illegal number thing.

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

The idea is that we'd be removed form checking it all before the game and put the onus on the coach.

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