Some say that a "team member" who previously was a "player" must be added to the book as soon as it is realized, even if they are currently on the bench. Others maintain that the "team member" need not be added unless they wish to reenter the game.
The Case Book states the number does not have to be changed if he doesn't play again. That's why rockyroad doesn't understand what all the fuss is about. Because some don't "like" this ruling, they choose to ignore it.

How would you handle it if the trainer did the same thing? Note the individual who is assessed the T and move on. You don't change the scorebook unless the coach requests it.

I guess that the fact that the ball hadn't become live yet had no impact on the infraction.

I guess we screwed up. We charged the Black team with a technical foul, the White player missed both free throws, and we gave the ball to the White team at the division line, opposite the table.

Next time, we'll get it right.
Yes, you did. But I'm sure you'll get it right next time. Just make sure you're the R, so Nevadaref can't ram his mythical beliefs down your throat.
