Was there a rash of taunting via shirt-doffing?

Or is it an anti-cheating measure? Did players at one time swap jerseys to elude a mounting foul count?

My take: Female VB players used to swap out their warm-up shirts for game jerseys. Someone got offended. so, VB put in a rule that it wasn't allowed (on / near the court). But, why have the rule in VB, if we don't have the same rule in basketball?
