You hit the nail on the head. They are sitting on the bench so the are bench personnel which would also be defined as affiliated with the team.
As I have pointed out numerous times earlier in the thread if they aren't, "team members or bench personnel," then they aren't part of the team. They are just spectators.
If the player dunks, you notify the coach, the coach says he's on the Varsity team not my team, & the Varsity player is not on the bench and is either in the stands or not within the visual confines of the floor then how in the world are you going to assess a "T"?
To say that a player who is dressed like the JV team is automatically affiliated with the team just can't be right. If it were correct then any Freshman, or Varsity player sitting in the stands dressed could be called with a bench "T" then pinned to the coach for unsporting comments/actions.
We all know thats not possible! If thats not possible then how is it possible to assess a Bench "T" to the varsity player who dunked in the JV warm up?
