3.5.6 SITUATION A: Substitute A6 is beckoned and enters the court to replace
A1. A6 is wearing: (a) compression shorts below the game pants which extend
below the knees; (b) cut-off jeans extending below the game pants; or (c) jewelry.
RULING: The items in (a), (b) and (c) are illegal and A6 will not be allowed to
participate while wearing the items. No penalty is involved. A6 simply cannot
participate until the illegal items are removed. (3-5-7)

Can we now move past what everyone else already knows and focus our time on discussing a real procedural question on this subject without any further distraction from you?

BTW that's me being snooty.

Has it not perhaps been considered that I have not read any of the situations or just read the rules book?

For items a & b in the situation, wouldn't the player have to be escorted to the locker room by a coach or other designated personnel to remove said illegal items? (Something I've never seen put into effect)

After further investigation, I can see where a team will not be penalized for the stupidity of one player.

Well, that would be your problem. It is a pretty basic assumption that people discussion the rules and rulings will have at least done so.

If you have not read them, you should.

Technically, No. It may be possible to either remove or make legal the offending item without removing the pants or shorts. The long compression shorts could simply be pushed/rolled up or cut off.
