Removing jersey

[BryanV21]

I believe it is a technical foul (indirect to HC as the players are bench personnel at the time... like a dunk would be pre-game). The game starts with Team A getting two FTs and the ball, with the AP arrow going to Team B.

Almost had this happen yesterday at our MS boys' final. Blue jerseys and black undershirts. Fortunately, when we informed the coach, we quickly recognized the players were about to change on the court and we sent them to the locker room to change before any harm was done.

The MS officials apparently let this go all season, and now that they have experienced officials for their playoffs, the teams are just learning about the new rules.

This is not a new rule.

Silly me.

I was thinking of the tights that we also had to correct during warm ups.

As Adam said, it's not a new rule, but some can't be bothered enforcing it. It makes a mess for others later, including the kids.

I instruct coaches to have their players go in the hallway and do this. I also think each instance is a direct to the kid and indirect to the coach in this instance.

If 3 players dunk each get a T and the coach get's 3 indirects?


Am I wrong?

After I wrote my initial response I thought of that question, and didn't know. So I've stayed back and waited for that clarification. LOL

My guess would be each gets a technical, and the indirects to the HC, but the penalty remains two FTs and the ball to start the game.

I think the penalties add up. The penalty you are thinking of I think is for illegal uniforms. Those don't accumulate.

I'd use 10.4.4B to only assess 1 T.

Just like I'd do if three players all dunked the same ball at the same time.

What's to stop a team from saying "well, we already got a technical foul for his dunk, so I might as well dunk too." And thus making a mockery of the entire rule?

RIF.

Separate dunks <> "everyone taking off the shirt at the same time" and isn't what we are (I am) discussing. The "separate Ts" case is covered elsewhere.
