The coach could send the player in question to the locker room if he liked...thereby making the player not available.

Camron--
How can you allow a player who is not in the book. The short answer is YOU CAN'T. Now, if a player didn't make it into the book, it ought to be up to the coach to decide if he wants to add that player to the book so that he can play. It is not up to the official to force a player into the game just cause he's sitting on the bench with a uniform on.

I agree. I'm saying that just because a player is in the book doesn't mean the coach has to play them.
