No, wasn't what I was implying. I was responding to you initial question, "what if they sit on the bench?" If they are on the bench then there would be no doubt that they are bench personnel, affiliated with the team
Case Book 4.32.2 gives the example of a trainer who is sitting @ the end of the bench who isn't specifically pointed out in Rule 4-34 but would be defined as affiliated with the team.
Case Book 10.4.1 Further elaborates on what is considered, "bench" personnel.
...considered to be bench personnel and have violated the rules governing conduct while on the "bench."

So you didn't really address my last point...

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?

Are you saying that as long as they are in the same or nearly the same uniform that they would be automatically affiliated with the team?
