Even Varsity coaches are clueless sometimes.........

I think I would try to tell them how to avoid the T for example, "he needs to go to the locker room to remove the shirt - send an assistant with him".

I hear you, but not in this case.....Full view of of a crowded gym, and you never know who is in the gym watching the officials' actions.........

I mean that you tell him that before he removes the jersey -- preventive officiating can go a long way.

I am currently divorced and a lady fan asked the me the other night why I reffed and my reply was so I can get yelled at a couple times a week by an angry wife or mother.

Agree. Or, don't tell him to take it off. Just tell him that the can't play with it on.

Funny, I was thinking that officials are clueless sometimes.

Seriously, if this really happened and you gave a tech for that, that is awful.

While I'm not crazy about the rule, the official administrated it correctly. It would have been better if he had told the coach that the player had to leave the gym to change. But the rule is the rule, and once the kid takes off the jersey. . .

10-3-H: A player shall not: Removing the jersey and/or pants/skirt within the visual confines of the playing area.

I'm not crazy about the rule either. I believe that the intent, and purpose, of this rule was to define a penalty for the player that removes his jersey in disgust, typically after fouling out, rather than penalizing a player for adjusting his uniform, and equipment, so that he can legally enter the game.

Scrapper1: When you note an illegal undershirt when a player is in the pregame layup line, do you always "remind" the player to leave the gym to remove the illegal equipment?

Exactly!!

The situation described above was NEVER something that was trying to be "addressed" by this rule. The problem we have is twofold: rules that are not written clearly and officials that lack any common sense.

D-3 women's game last week. Visiting coach is really a talker but not annoying. She starts chirping about a call the crew made then she asks me as I get close to her bench, "You're not mad at me, are you?"

Me: "Coach, I have an ex-wife. It takes much more than that to bother me."
