If you go strictly by the wording of the HS rule, you would have to penalize the team when the name is added even if it was on the roster they submitted.

Some of what you say is correct, but the part about my statement being not exactly true is not.
What I said was that the technical foul was not for the player entering, but was for having to write him in. Which is absolutely true. I did not say it was ALWAYS a T for that, just that the T, in the case we're talking about, is for writing him in - not for him entering. My statement was in response to a specific question, and not a global catch-all statement.
