3.4.15 Situation A: After the horn sound to end the first half, A1 removes his/her jersey near the team bench: Ruling: a technical foul is charged to A1 and an indirect technical foul is charged to the head coach; A1 is considered bench personnel in this situation. (10-3-7)
The NF ruling is WRONG. Even though it is halftime A1 is still a PLAYER. Why? Because his status remains as a player until the criteria you mention above per 3-3-3 are met. He has not been substituted for nor has he been disqualified.

Whoa. Don't have to. Nevada already has answered it. Case book play 10.4.1SitB sez "During intermission all team members are bench personnel".
Also, as per R5-6-4, all technicals that occur after the ball becomes dead to end a period aren't considered as part of that period. Iow, A1 wouldn't meet the requirements of being a "player" under R4-34-1, but would meet the requirements of R4-34-2.
