Quote: "6. Once a team member goes to the scorer's table to report, he/she becomes a substitute and is no longer bench personnel, so any T committed by that individual would not be charged to the head coach."

Nevada, is there a reference for this? The statement seems to put the substitute in a third status, somewhere in between players and bench personnel. I've always understood that the actions of anyone associated with the team, and not currently designated as a player, would come under the bench personnel status, and the responsibility of the head coach.

Let's suppose that the substitute does/says something that warrants a T. Are we to understand that there would be no indirect T assessed to the head coach?
