Same number? If a different number, technical foul? Please elaborate, and a citation would be nice. We're all getting ready to "listen". Please reply.

3.2.2 SITUATION E: Team A properly submits its team member list and designates the five starters as required at least 10 minutes before the scheduled start of the game. Anytime thereafter, either before the game starts or during the game, the coach asks the scorer to change a number in the scorebook: (a) so it corresponds to what the team member is wearing; (b) because a player’s shirt has excessive blood on it; or (c) because a player’s shirt is torn. RULING: In (a), a technical foul is charged to Team A. In (b) and (c), the shirt is changed and the number change made in the scorebook without any penalty.

What Bob is refering to here is 3.3.7 Situation A.

You ruled the jersey was illegal because it did not match the color/shade of the other jerseys. Yet you ruled that the player may not participate while wearing it. It sounds like you confused 3-4 with 3-5. A player may participate while wearing an illegal jersey at the cost of a single direct technical foul to the head coach (10-5-4). A player may not participate while wearing illegal equipment or apparel.

So if it's not just a different shade, but a different color, a technical gets them in the game?

I think 3-5.1 gives me enough to not let them participate and avoid a technical. (My guess was that this coach knew the real jersey was on the way, and he was more willing to have his player not start if it got there late than he was to start the game with the other team shooting a technical).

Looking back, it probably would have been best to let her play with the different shade jersey and avoid everything. Live and learn, live and learn.

Thanks:

3.3.7 SITUATION A: B1 is directed to leave the game because of excessive blood on his/her uniform shirt. Team B’s manager has failed to pack any extra shirts. (a) The coach asks one of the substitutes to give his/her shirt to B1; or (b) Team A is able to find a shirt which B1 can wear even though it is not exactly the same color or style of the Team B shirts. The shirt will however, clearly identify B1 as a member of Team B and will not be confusing to either team or the officials. RULING: Acceptable procedure in both (a) and (b). In both situations the scorer will make necessary changes in the scorebook without penalty. COMMENT: The spirit and intent of the rule is to do everything possible to allow the player to use a different shirt and return without penalty. However, identical numbers shall not be allowed on the same team
