Ok, interesting situation here. During JV warmups Team A (the home team) is warming up. Team B (visiting team) has yet to come onto the floor to warm up. Therefore the V of Team A starts to shoot around. A V player dunks the ball. So here's my question. We've got one T for the player dunking, now he is on the floor, so whenever you go to report the T you are probably going to find that he is not in the book, so that would be another T. My question is, what if this player was not eligble to be playing in the JV game (he's a senior). What would you have to do?

I am going to work backwards on this post.
I do not know about MichiganHSAA, but the OhioHSAA has no rules that prohibit a senior from playing on a jr. varsity team. Afterall, maybe you have a senior who had early season knee surgery and you want him to get some playing time before the start of the playoffs to see if his knee is ready.
The jr. varsity team is on the court warming up and a "player," in uniform, is on the court with the jr. varsity team during warm-ups. You do not know that the "player" is on the varsity and this "player" dunks the ball. This "player" has dunked a dead ball. The dunk occurs (a) before the ten minute mark, and (b) after the ten minute mark.
In both (a) and (b) a direct techincal foul is charged to the "player" and an indirect technical foul charged to the head coach of the jr. varsity team. The question that now must be answered is whether "player's" name is to be added to the scorebook? And to be honest, I do not know what the answer is to this question. My inclination is to not add the name in (a) and to add the name in (b), which means that "player's" jr. varsity team is charged a team technical foul for changing its roster.
