What if he quickly, politely, and quietly fixes the jersey after being asked to do so? Still has to leave?

There are so many things wrong with this poorly worded question.

I don't know if I got this question wrong, or not (I passed, that's what counts), but I don't really care anymore about IAABO's stupid question.

Even with no IAABO, I can't figure out exactly what the NFHS wants in these situations.

3-3-5:A player not wearing the pants/skirt properly and above the hips and/or a player not tucking in a team jersey (front and back) designed to be worn inside the pants/skirt, must be directed to leave the game as in 3-3-4; a charged time-out must not alter this requirement.

3.3.5 Situation A: B1 fouls A1. Just before A1 goes to the line for a one-and-one, the official observes: (a) A1 pull the jersey out of his/her pants; or (b) A1’s pants being worn below the hips. Ruling: In both (a) and (b), A1 will be directed to put the jersey in the pants or pull up the pants, and must leave the game immediately following his/her last free throw(s). The lane is cleared for the free throw and Team B is awarded the ball for a throw-in, whether or not the last free throw is successful. Comment: A charged time-out by Team A does not alter the requirement for A1 to leave the game.

Can A-1 shoot free throws with his jersey untucked, and then leave?

Casebook says that A1 will be directed to put the jersey in his pants, it doesn't say if he actually does it.
