Mark, as for the player designation, the rulebook technically does state a player is one of five on the floor, but 2-8-4 states that an official must notify the coach then notify the player on disqualification. If you then go back and read 4-34-3, you will find that once the coach is informed, the player is no longer a player, but is bench personnel. The semantics of "player" should NOT get in the way of the safety of those involved!
