removal of jersey behind the team bench

In NFHS volleyball, would an unsporting conduct yellow card be issued to the head coach if a player removes her jersey behind the team bench?

Yes for the first offense. See 4-2-7

Similar to the NFHS rule in BK. What would you propose?

I'd personally propose removing the rule. If a kid is comfortable changing quickly behind the bench, what's the problem? Are we really worried about seeing a girl's sportsbra? Maybe there's some concern about child predators? But that seems less likely to me.

When I work USA tournaments, whole teams whip off their warm up t-shirts and put on their game jerseys at the bench. Nobody bats an eye.

I think the NFHS is (and I think that some parents might be concerned)

We had a situation at a state final where a team brought a changing screen to the team bench and attempted to use it to change their warm-up shirts into their playing shirts. It was quickly eliminated.
