HS Boys game: Both teams break from a time out. The officials count players(5 per team) and give thumbs up. A inbounds and scores a basket and low and behold B only has 4 players on the floor even though they do have eligible players on the bench. Apparently one stepped off ( Probably one close to the huddle after T.O.)
B calls T.O. 5 players break huddle after T.O. The phantom fifth player doesn't report. A T is issued for the infraction.
Question: When it is discovered that a team does not have 5 players on the floor when they do have 5 eligible legal players what do you do?

Case 10.1.9 Ruling: A technical foul is immediately charged to Team... for failing to have all players return to the court at approximately the same time following a time-out or imtermission.
Charge it to team-foul count
Do not charge to player or coach.
