4-34-1: Players/ Bench Personnel/ Substitutes/ Team Members: A player is one of five team members who are legally on the court at any given time, except intermission.
My opinion: Based on intent and purpose, sometime after player introductions and the final pre-game team huddle, as soon as only five players leave their bench area and head out to the court to gather for the jump ball, that's when they become players. Team members left behind on the bench are then considered bench personnel.
