Somewhere,back in the archives,is a very long thread from months ago on this very same situation.It was quite interesting,too,if I remember right.There were some very creative solutions brought up,so that the shooting team didn't get screwed.One was charging the bench player with 2 T's- one for standing during play(R10-4-1g) plus one for entering the court(R10-4-2).Also,if I remember right,if this happened in the NBA,you could award the 3 point goal.Maybe Mr. Elias could comment on that later.He's a closet NBA rules junky.
One thing to remember is that any rulings in Referee magazine are never definitive or binding.They are their opinions only,and they've been wrong before,so take them with a grain of salt.Only the NFHS,recognized state organizations,or the NCAA can give out approved rulings.
