I thought of that, BUT it is a t to remove the jersey, is it a t to come out without it and put it on in the first place at the bench? The t for removing the jersey is listed under unsporting acts. 05-06 poe "removing the jersey either on the court or near the team bench, especially after a disqualification. I see nothing that could remotely be considered unsporting here. My take is the intent of this rule was to target players who were making some sort of statement by removing the jersey: "I fouled out and I'm upset." "I'm a star and now I'm out so the scrubs can mop up." etc.
