Actually, being in the book is not what makes him a team member. Being in the book is not part of the definition of team member. If he gets left off the book, he can still be a team member, and have his name added, at the expense of a technical foul. So, continuing your line of reasoning, coach sends #23 into the game. Scorer announces there is no #23. You announce technical foul. Coach says, "Wait a minute. 23 wasn't even supposed to be dressed out for the JV game. He's not affiliated with this team. Let me send in somebody else." You say, "Fine, coach. He just can't sit on your bench any more."
