I will tell you if you do not call a T for this, you have just lost credibility with both coaches and any other rule that is obvious and you do not enforce, look out my man. You have to penalize this. I agree that most of the time this is the official's fault if we do not count players, but not all times is this about counting players. You might have had a player run onto the court. You may even have a player run off the court and they were not seen at that time. Teams should know when to come onto the court or when not to come on the court ultimately. You have to penalize this. It is an obvious violation of the rules. It is also very preventable, but there are rare situations when players do not leave the court and even sometimes I have had 6 players enter the court after a timeout.

I agree to a point, but you should not just ignore this violation of the rules when it is so obvious to someone.
