If later on another player comes in wearing the wrong number and we have to change the book, we just hit the player because the maximum 1 team T had been assessed.

10-3-1 states "A player shall not: Art. 1... Participate after changing his/her number without reporting it to the scorers and an official."
What must the player do?
He/she must report to the scorers and an official.
Why must the player report?
He/she
changed his/her number.
What does it mean for a player to change his/her number?
IMHO it means that the player takes off the jersey that he/she is wearing and puts on one with a different number. It is not a coach writting the wrong number in the scorebook.
