If he is in uniform and participating during warm ups, I don't think it is a stretch to assume he is going to be an eleigible player for the evening. By the sound of the post, this was before thr 10 minute mark or else your player count and the book count would have been off. I don't know if the rule book cover this specifically, but I think it is the proper way to handle it (using eleasticity?). I have never seen a person who is not playing dress and warm up, this is just a bizarre sitch, but, regardless of his "status" on the team, the coach is still responsible for the action of the people warming up.

Where I could see it get really sticky is if the kid was an ineleiglbe player but warming up, but then again it is not my problem, he still broke the rules; let the state sort it out.
