Dead Ball ...

I believe that we change the number in the book and penalize, even if the ball is dead.

"Penalized when they occur"? "They" means changing the scorebook, so that doesn't help, Rich1 wants to know "if" he has to change the scorebook.

So use the language in the casebook: "becomes a player", and "currently in the game and became a player when he/she legally entered the court", do not differentiate between a live ball and a dead ball.

The key is if he's one of the five players at the time, maybe even during a timeout (not an intermission).
