I know the rule and know the penalty, but why on earth would you whack a kid w/ a T for this? Just send him back to the scorers table to check-in properly. In the grand-scheme of things, it's not a big enough transgression to penalize w/ two free-throws and loss of the ball. Just use common sense, correct the situation, and move on. Don't interrupt the game for something stupid.....now you've got to call every little ticky-tack foul/violation - you've just set the precedent!
