It's game administration's job. We are supposed to remind them to do this before we leave the gym at halftime. Regardless, if they're not IN THE GYM when it's time to start, the rule is to wait one minute, have the timer click it off, and then issue a team technical foul. The RPP does not apply in this particular situation.
The citation about failing to return to the court at approximately the same time only applies to players getting onto the playing court, not subs coming into the gym. That is, if five players come running in, coach is there, players get the game underway just as subs are coming in the door, I don't think that citation is invoked. Although I could be wrong (it's happened once or twice).
