Smitty, just like their test questions, they are never worded that clearly. According to our rule committee guy, the chest pull is a definite unsporting act of not wearing the jersey properly and unsporting acts are to be T'd. As for our scenario, he stated that the officials, since they still had proper jurisdiction, SHOULD, and the NFHS WANTS each official to, assess technical fouls for each player they see doing this and award Team B the subsequent number of free throws since the free throws may impact the outcome. He did acknowledge that most officials in this situation would simply keep going to the locker room. He prompted more discussion by saying what if the Team B coach runs over to the officials before they've left pointing out the behavior? What should the officials do then? As I said, the discussion was lively.
