contrasting undershirts

Had a game last week where the visitors didn't shed their warmups till tipoff and you guessed it, two guys had white tee shirts under red jerseys. One was a starter, so we sent him into the corner of the gym under the bleachers almost so he could shed the illegal garment. And we pretended we did not see him, then started the game with a jump ball. No T was assessed. Would any of you handled this differently? i.e. "Coach, you have to get a sub in and send those guys to the locker room to change." Thanks.

And something that I only noticed a couple of years ago, but which has probably been in the Rules Book for a long time, is that illegal equipment or apparel is a permissible reason to change a designated starter. No technical foul is charged.

If the kid hides the jewelry or undershirt until just before tip off you can prevent them from starting and insist upon a sub without making a huge deal out of it.
