Don't be a jersey plumber?

I disagree that moving the 20 second replacement period to after a timeout is supported by rule, but it wouldn't drive me crazy enough to say anything if a partner allowed it.

So after the timeout, the player is now directed to leave the game. How do you enforce any sort of time limit to keep the coach from dawdling?

Make the replacement interval be "immediate". Unless there's another TO, of course.

Comments on the 2005-2006 Rules Revisions

JERSEYS/PANTS/SKIRTS PROHIBITED FROM BEING REMOVED
(3-4-15, 10-3-7h, 10-4-1i):
A team member is prohibited from removing his/her jersey and/or pants/skirt within the confines of the playing area. The penalty is a technical foul. The former uniform rule didn’t require team members to actually wear the team uniform. This addition also addresses a growing behavioral concern of players removing their jersey to demonstrate frustration or anger as a means of attracting individual attention. The rule is also intended to be applied in all situations – even when a player must change uniforms due to blood or other unusual circumstances. It is not unreasonable to expect team members to go to their locker rooms to change their jerseys.
