Discussion on this...Team A warms up for 12 minutes, goes to the bench area and removes their warm-up tops and then puts on their jerseys in the bench area. How many, if any T's do you have?

None. Then tell the coach that perhaps it would be in better taste if the team dressed in the locker room.

If it's a boys game, do the same thing. :)

That one is an exact cite off of the new rules interpretations posted on the NFHS web site. It's Situation #4, if you look at up. The answer-<i>verbatim</i> is "One technical foul is charged to team A, and it is also charged indirectly to the head coach. COMMENT: In a situation where similar multiple infractions occur at the same time, it is not the intent of the rule to penalize each individual infraction as a separate technical foul".

So..... one team T to A and an indirect T to the A head coach is the correct call.

Usually, 24. Sometimes 30.

Here's a similar situation. The home team is wearing game jerseys which have a small number on the front which is printed over to the side of the shirt. This is the only number on the front of the jersey.

How many people here would follow the book and call the illegal shirt Ts on each team member who participates?

Rules references: 3-4-2 and 10-3-2


We have at least two local teams that I have seen on TV highlights which are wearing this style of jersey.
