When the NCAA changes were initially announced it said there would be a new 1-4-8-d added this year and it would be language that established the charged timeout penalty at the start of each quarter. The 2014 UIL Exceptions document (Exception 23) clearly indicates the intent of the UIL Rules Committee is to except out the requirement to charge timeouts and instead require the game officials to submit a UIL incident report. The fact that now the NCAA book has actually been published and they did not add the 1-4-8-d but rather put the timeout penalty language in 1-4-5-c-2 is immaterial to what we will do. The Rules Committee did not want a timeout assessed, they merely want an Incident Report.
UIL Exception 23 -
(New NCAA editorial change for 2014 – paragraph “d” added to 1-4-8 )
1-4-8-d. Teams wearing jerseys that do not conform to Rules 1-4-4-c and 1-4-5 will be asked to change into legal jerseys before the game and before the start of each quarter until the jerseys are changed. Officials shall charge a team timeout at the start of each quarter the illegal jerseys are worn.

EXCEPTION: 1-4-8-d. Delete paragraph “d” and replace with this note: “(NOTE: For UIL games,
noncompliance with Rules 1-4-4-c and 1-4-5, as amended by UIL Exceptions, should be noted in the
UIL game report filed by the Referee after the contest.)”
