Illinois Uniform Modifications

[Nevadaref]

Bob, I would venture to say that the rules are not being as strictly enforced.

Also, since the other thread on this was closed, I wish to clarify my position. I agree that the penalty is a TF charged to the head coach of the offending team. I simply disagree with assessing it prior to the ball becoming live. Strictly speaking the officials should toss the ball and blow it dead, then assess the T. This is because the NFHS has several play rulings defining what it means "to participate" and the rule prohibits the coach allowing a team member "to participate" while wearing an illegal uniform.

Now most people probably will just charge the T and skip the jumpball, but that doesn't make it proper protocol.
