You have no rules support to ask if an assistant accompanied him to the locker room. Leave any of that to the coach. Players leave the bench to go to the bathroom/locker room all the time. As far as I'm concerned, that's an authorized reason. The intent of the rule is to penalize team members who leave the bench to demonstrate disgust or otherwise show unsportsmanlike behavior. Nothing more. |

OP doesn't say he gave the T to the player, just that he called the T . . .

Where does it say what the purpose for the rule is?

I seem to recall that an official can't SEND the team member to the lockerroom unaccompanied; but I don't know that it's up to us to monitor what happens after we send the player to the bench. |

SITUATION 5: A1 is directed to leave the game with a blood-saturated jersey. While at the team bench area, he/she removes the jersey and changes into a clean, spare jersey. RULING: A1 is assessed a technical foul. Team B is awarded two free throws and the ball for a division line throw-in. COMMENT: The uniform rule is intended to be applied in all situations. It is not unreasonable to expect team members to leave the playing area to change uniforms. (3-4-15; 10-4-1h)

If I can't open my current rule book and point to it, why should I be applying it? |

Correct as for us as an official. I'm not monitoring what happens when/if an ejected or disqualified player leaves the bench and goes to the lockerroom. Only if I send him will I ensure that he doesn't go alone. If I remember correctly the schools were also sent the same email and they were responsible for attending to the player.

If you want to die on that hill, go ahead. You're not incorrect in your assessment. But I'll pick my battles and leave well-enough alone on this one. I've always heard guys say "don't go searching for T's, they'll find you." I think in this case, you're hunting for one.

I agree. Sort of. However, if I know a player has blood on his shirt and needs to change, I'm miraculously paying no attention to anyone but the players on the court. In other words, it's not something I'm meticulously watching for.

Why not simply give the coach a quiet reminder before the kid takes off the shirt?
