Interesting one

Saying that, as I do not officiate games under NF rules, this is an actual rule? FIBA does not address this.

Though to me (if I were a coach) it'd be common sense to have the player (male or female) head to the locker room to change. I guess some young people these days are less modest then when I was in HS.

Some gyms around here, it's like a mile hike to get to the locker room. I would allow the player to use a bathroom with the coach going out into the hallway with him/her, or to use a nearby storage room to change. What do you guys think?

EDIT: Just noticed everyone is saying "visual confine of the gymnasium". So that answers my question that they just have to leave the gym to change. If a girl wants to change out in the hallway, I just hope it doesn't end up on youtube

We are writing that because that's what the rule states. You might want to read it, ACE. 10-3-6h and 10-4-1h

You have much to learn, grasshopper.

10-3-6 and 10-4-1 regards technical fouls or ejections. We're talking about a bloody shirt or improper equipment that would require a player to change, i.e. undershirt is of a wrong color.

Yeah? That's what the penalty is for changing in the visual confines of the playing area... a technical foul. Did you read them?

Nope, he obviously didn't bother to read the citations. He's a young ACE.

He might be teachable, but the jury is still out.

The topic I was talking about was a little OT from the OP.

We were talking about whether or not the player HAS to go to the locker room to remove and replace a bloodied uniform piece or to remove an illegal equipment such as wrong-colored undergarment.

And the answer is no. The individual merely must leave "the visual confines of the playing area" because that is exactly how it is written in the rule citations which I provided for you. We are talking about same thing, you just aren't listening.

I'll help. Look at 10-3-6 paragraph h.
