I saw a case play, 4.34.1, that talks about how during a time out the former players on the court are considered players and not bench personnel; not sure that works in reality; I am not always sure what 10 players were on the court going into a time out; additionally, there are often lots of substitutions during the timeout; subs usually become players when they walk onto the floor as beckoned; so how does it work when some kid has been in and then is standing in the huddle and turns around and tells me I am doing a terrible job; what should be my thought process for deciding whether he is bench personnel or not? how do I know if he is currently still in the game? any thoughts?

Ther's a case play about fighting (subs enter and fight, but we don't know who they were entering for) that says to "penalize to the maximum" -- so that's what I'd do here. If we don't know whether a tema member was a player, then s/he's bench personnel and the coach gets an indirect.
