Is this the same official from the original post? If so, what part of one of this season's Points of Emphasis did he, or she, not understand?

4. SLAPPING THE BACKBOARD. The incidents of players slapping the backboard are increasing throughout the country. The rules specify that “intentionally slapping or striking the backboard” is a technical foul (10-3-5). The spirit and intent of that rule is to penalize a player for drawing attention to him/herself or as a means of venting frustration. A player who strikes the backboard in a legitimate attempt to block a try for goal should not be penalized. Basket interference cannot be ruled in either of the above situations. Basket interference only occurs if the ball is interfered with while in the cylinder above the basket ring or by touching either the ball or any part of the basket while the ball is on or within the basket (4-6).

Don't score the basket. 2 FTs and the ball.

Unless the basket is made. Again, this one needs to call itself, if you're at all unsure if he was attempting to block the shot, he was trying to block the shot and it's a no-call.

I had a player that was subbing in near the beginning of the game. He must have verbally given his number to the scorers table as he still had his warmup top still on. As he took his warmup off to come into the game and his jersey was on backwards! After some laughs, he took it off to get it on the correct way.

I joked with the coach that we would have to T him up for removing his jersey. The coach said, "Hasn't he been embarrassed enough?" I laughed and agreed.

No exceptions to that rule! The NFHS has stated that it is to apply under all circumstances, even when a jersey needs to be changed due to blood.

WHACK

OK, so I might have kicked this sitch, but what if he just put his arms in his jersey and roll it around his body. Would that have been a WHACK?

The rules says "removing the jersey." I don't consider putting one's arms inside of the jersey and spinning it around without pulling it up and over one's head to be removing it.
