Teams show up for Tournament. One has Yellow shirts the other has Black.
What do you do?

Per NFHS rules the yellow jerseys of the home team are illegal as they are not the required color of white. The head coach is to be penalized with a direct technical foul to start the game.

Whether officials take this course of action or a different path will depend upon what is expected of them by the assignor of the contest and its governing authority.

Agreed. This was recently (12/18) published in IL:

a. When schools request to wear an alternate color home jersey on a ‘special’ night, schools may request, in writing, to wear a non-white jersey for a given home game. Again, this can occur ONLY if permission has been granted in advance, and the school/coach has the letter of permission at the game.

b. With the growing interest in having these special nights has grown, the IHSA has generally allowed schools one time per year to wear the non-conforming colored jersey. When approval is granted, however, the away team must wear white that night, even though they are not the home team.

c. The host school must let the officials know and ensure the visiting team will be wearing white.

d. If an official shows up and works a game where the home team wears a jersey that is a color other than white, and the school can't provide an approval letter from the IHSA, the officials should penalize the offending team in accordance with rule 10 in the NFHS Basketball Rules Book and complete a Special Report following the contest.

e. Officials and players are expected to follow the established rules during contests.

Over the past few years, many basketball teams have held “Cancer Awareness Nights”. This often involves the wearing of special uniforms and equipment, often involving, but not limited to, players wearing the color pink. Officials should utilize common sense and discretion when dealing with these special circumstances.

I don't think they were wearing yellow uniforms in recognition for Cancer awareness.
So.....
If they are wearing 'PINK' uniforms, for cancer awareness, then do undershirts have to be Pink?

I'm the most hard ass fashion policeman out there, but I still say, in regard to "Special" nights (disease awareness, memorials, etc.), utilize common sense, discretion, and a little sincere empathy.

Of course. (by rule)

Unless your state has an exception, why wouldn’t they?

Note that I am only giving you the “by rule” answer.

Uniforms are required, t-shirts are not. I've yet to see a state issue an exception for t-shirt colors

If the home team is having a special Cancer Awareness night, and wants to wear special Cancer Awareness pink undershirts under their home white jerseys, and if both coaches agree, and if the visitors aren't wearing any pink, I could see myself overlooking the undershirt rule for that one night, but I would make my assigner aware of such after I got home that evening.

On the other hand, if the home team wants to wear white undershirts under their special Cancer Awareness (state approved) pink jerseys, I would probably have a problem with that.
