You are correct. We don't have our books yet, but I see this case on the NFHS website:

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)

I'm guessing that came into play due to girls games. Girls will often change jerseys and be in nothing but a sports bra and that probably offended someone and led to the change. Can't imagine anyone got offended by a boy in his under armour but we do need to treat both genders equally now don't we.

I'll be interested to hear what is said about this at our state's interpreter's meeting.

Like someone else said, if you give out T two's for this you might as well get ready to give at least one more because the head coach is going to get one shortly thereafter.
