Player removed jersey before leaving floor

[Chuga]

Just saw a replay of a male college player removing his jersey before he left the floor. This occurred after his 5th personal foul and as he was leaving the floor. He was clearly not happy with call (lip reading BS, FU, etc.) and was disappointed as this was a tournament game and his team was losing and eventually lost. He had no undershirt and threw the jersey beyond the bench. Not sure if any of the on court officials saw this happen. This occurred with less than 2 minutes left in the game. My question is, does this act warrant a technical foul?

Under NFHS (high school) rules, this would be a T to the player and an indirect to the head coach if the player's replacement had been beckoned.

The indirect T has nothing to do with the beckoning of the substitute. This is a DQ situation and the notifying of the coach is what determines when he becomes bench personnel.

Thanks for the clarification. I apologize for the incorrect information.

2005-06 NFHS Basketball Rules Changes
3-4-15 Prohibits a team member from removing his/her jersey and/or pants/skirt within the visual confines of the playing area. The penalty is a technical foul.

Comments On The 2005-06 Rules Revisions
Jerseys/Pants/Skirts Prohibited From Being Removed (3-4-15, 10-3-7h, 10-4-1h): 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 jerseys to demonstrate frustration or anger and as a means of attracting individual attention. The rule is 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.

The NCAA has no rule regarding removal of a player's jersey.

The other acts he took could, of course, have warranted a technical foul.
