When this error occurs and it is not immediately penalized, it may be corrected, provided it is recognized before the ball becomes live following the first dead ball after the infraction occured.
I thought it would be to late to penalize, since Number 4 already became a player. Also, I did not see this as a correctable error.
Any thoughts???

It is too late to penalize. Correcting it, IMO, would mean sending #4 back to the table. Of course, then I would immediately beckon him/her on the court.
I guess this is one of those that needs to be sent to NFHS headquarters so that we can get a really confusion interp.
