Alright, I finally got out of my comfortable chair and got my rule book out of my bag. Here's what I found:
4-5-1: A
team's own basket is the one into which its players try to throw or tap the ball.
4-5-2: Each
team's basket for practice before the game and for the first half shall be the one farther from its team bench.
4-34-2: Bench personnel are all individuals who are part of or affiliated with a
team, including, but not limnited to, substitutes, coaches, managers, and statisticians. During an intermission,
all team members are bench personnel.
4-34-4: A
team member is a member of bench personnel who is in uniform and is
eligible to become a player.
So, only those individuals who are eligible to become a player are team members, and only team members are allowed to warm up, thus, if a varsity individual is
not eligible to become a player, because the coach doesn't want him to play in the junior varsity game, and/or his, or her name, is not in the junior varsity book, then the
official has the right, by rule, to exclude those varsity individuals from warmups.
How does that sound?
