I agree that the coach should be responsible for the conduct of non team personnel. However this would usually fall to game management to control. If a "TEAM MEMBER," dunks in warm-ups then its charged to that player then indirectly to the coach.

The only references to the warm ups that I can find is in the manual. Duties to include checking legality of uniforms, # of each member, etc... The diagram specifically say home team & visiting team. I would say that is pretty clear as to who is to be on the floor.

The coach is still part of the team even though he/she isn't in the book.
