PS
What if a injured player's mom comes onto the court takes the ball and dunks it?

By not chasing him off the court, the team is permitting him to join their warm-up which makes him affiliated with the team which is the very definition of bench personnel. There is no actual requirement of sitting on the bench during the game.
