I haven't ever seen this in basketball and I don't have the rule book to look this up but I would think that the long sleeves wouldn't be allowed.

Looking for you're thoughts on this one as well a rule reference.

There is no prohibition on the length of sleeve. If you are requiring a player with a long-sleeved undershirt to remove it, you are incorrectly enforcing the rule.

3-5-5...Undershirts shall be similar in color to the torso of the jersey and shall be hemmed and not have frayed or ragged edges. If the undershirt has sleeves, they shall be the same length.
