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.

You beat me to it.

However, the jersey T covers a lot more than unsporting acts....change for a torn jersey must even be done away from the court area.

Guys,
Chuck is right. This is directly from last year's NFHS Interps.

2005-06 NFHS Basketball Rules Interpretations

SITUATION 4: During the pregame warm-up, the 12 members of Team A are wearing warm-up tops, but not their team jerseys. Approximately one minute prior to the opening jump ball, the 12 Team A members go to the team bench, remove the warm-up tops and put on the team jerseys. RULING: 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 rules to penalize each individual infraction as a separate technical foul. (3-4-15; 10-4-1h)

Good catch, Nevada. That's exactly why I print those off the FED web site every year and file 'em away..

It's a shame that they don't archive them on their website.

And now we can have the "if it didn't make it to the case book, is it still a valid interp?" discussion.

No, let's have the "why is the fed injecting themselves into a part of tha game that doesn't need them" discussion instead.

The intent of this rule was to act on the HS'ers following the habits of the nba'ers in taking off their jersey in disgust. Makes absolutely no sense for them to take that ruling this far.

Sense is not an issue when it comes to some rules.

If it was, coaches wouldn't be allowed to call TO's.

Is this a rule change that I haven't heard about? Since when can coaches call timeouts?

I had heard somewhere...probably here...that this "Jersey off thing" was in reaction to parents getting upset that the girls were running around with just their sports bras on.

Being removed or not...the Fed evidently does not want players around the court area without a Jersey.
