Often Pondered ...

Another great question, one that I've often pondered, but thought too "officious" to actually put any great thought into.

My opinion: When ten "players" are gathering on the court to prepare for the jump ball.

Another related followup question:

When is it too late to penalize? After toss? After tap? After first possession? At first dead ball? After first dead ball? At first clock stoppage? After first clock stoppage? Before first substitution for said illegal starter? After first substitution for said illegal starter? End of officials' jurisdiction?

10-1-2 Administrative Technical: A team must not: Change a designated starter unless necessitated as in 3-2-2a (necessitated by illness, injury, illegal equipment or apparel, etc., or to attempt a technical foul free throw). Penalty: Two free throws plus the ball for a division-line throw-in.

Oddly, I can't find any time limit (statute of limitations) cited.
