The official scorer isn't going to be making any deal about it. I would tell the other coach, however, that he would be given the same consideration if he were in the same situation. After that, the ball would be in play.

Had this happen in a game earlier this year and IT WAS the official scorer who made sure the home coach knew about it and exactly what the penalty should be for it. It was he that kept me from simply bringing in the sub and quietly explaning the situation to the offending coach.
