Not in Virginia

The 2 times I've had to have a player change out of an undershirt, I was sure to tell the coach that his player needs to leave the visible confines.

There was a big uproar locally about 5-6 years ago when a player changed out his shorts, right in front of the bench, an he didn't get penalized.

At the Louisiana state tournament a couple of years ago a player apparently had blood on his jersey. No problem. He borrowed one from a teammate on the bench, took off his own jersey, and put on the new one as he walked across the court and returned to the game. Apparently I was the only one who noticed.

Agreed.

In a recent Holiday Tournament, we had a young man who needed to change his under garment as it was the wrong color. As he started to disrobe "right there," the R told him to go behind the bleachers.

The T can be prevented in many cases.

This is what I was trying to say. Just tell him to get it fixed, but not on the bench.

Easier said than done sometimes. Sometimes A1 has his shirt off before you can get through the sentence.

Start the sentence with "you need to leave the court" instead of with "you need to change / remove your shirt." And, take the player to the coach and tell the coach the ruling / requirements.
