10-1-2e: (After the 10 minute mark...) Have identical numbers on team members and/or players.
My take:
While having both 0 and 00 on the team member list is a violation of 3-4-3d, there's no penalty listed in that section.
0 and 00 are not identical. The second becomes illegal only when that player enters the game -- and it's then charged to the coach. (10-5-4)
Suppose the roster had a number 66 on it (or one team member put a "memorial patch" with a number on it on his/her uniform). Would we penalize immediately? No -- only when (if) that player entered. Same with 0 an 00.
