No, you'd tell him to get off the court. Same here. No penalty. Get him off the court.
Chuck,

I would agree. But whenever he dunks the ball and you go to report the T and he's not in the book because he doesn't play, then you've got a heck of a problem. BTW: This didn't happen to me. I was watching a V warm up on one end the their JV on the other and thought "what if". Oh yeah, Chuck have you started using pipe bits instead of wrapping your whistle??
