Honestly, I can't imagine that happening. That number's been illegal for long enough that whoever's getting the uniforms done for the schools have known not to do that for a long time.

Because of that, I can't rightly answer what I would do if I noticed it. JV, probably let it go and tell the coach to fix that before the next game ... but I truly can't see this happening.

I had this happen earlier this season at the varsity level. A team was visiting from Australia and had several numbers which conformed to FIBA regulations, but not NFHS. For example, they had numbers 6, 7, and 9.

It was challenging to report fouls during that contest.

We told the coach that his FIBA uniforms were okay, but that the kids had to play by NFHS rules, such as not violating the BI rule. He laughed and said that they had been having some difficulty adjusting to a few of the rules over here.
