There are casebook plays on this, but right now I am too lazy to look them up.
The interpretation that I was taught on a kid wearing a different number than is listed in the book is:
1. It is only a T when either the scorer is required to change the number in the book or the player changes jerseys to match the number listed in the book.
2. If the kid never plays, it is never a T.
3. If the kid plays, the table should notify you upon his entry into the game and the T should be given then. If the table doesn't do this, but notices later while he is still in the game, then immediate T.
4. However, if the kid plays, but doesn't foul, score, or do anything to make the table write down anything for him in the book, and then comes out of the game without anyone noticing, then it is not a T until he plays again. And only then if someone notices this time.

Therefore, in your play since the scorer had to record a basket for this player, that would require a change to the book and the T should be given as soon as the scorer brings this to the officials' attention, whether the kid is still in the game or not.

PS I hope that they did NOT use the AP arrow to start the second quarter.
