Different Perspective
The rule that has been provided is 100% correct that this is a T for not bringing everyone at approximately the same time...
Now go tell Team A Coach...
"I did not count the number of players on the floor (like we always talk about in our pregame) and let you start with 4 guys. Since I did not do my job the way we have been taught I am going to stick you with a technical foul, have the other team shoot to shots, and put you one step closer to the bonus for this half"
Preventive Officiating and counting the players before putting the ball in play would have stopped this long before you ever got far enough to decide if there was a T
My second question is... If you did not count the players, then you really did not know where the player was...
How do you know that he ran from out of the bench area, and was not on the floor still talking with the coach in front of the bench?....and that the way he ran on the floor, he ran past the scorer's table caught them by surprise but did not know where he really came from?
I hate giving T's when we mess up
