Like others have said, there's a lot of reasons why someone might be listed in the scorebook who isn't warming up on the court. Off the top of my head:
Forgot their uniform, and they're waiting for Mom/Dad/assistant coach #14 to drop it off.
Still in the locker room attending to personal business, getting extra stretching, or treatment of an injury.
Performing in a band concert (This has happened to me in my high school days)
Stuck in traffic 5 miles from the game site.
Suspended by the coach for the first half of the game
Broken shoelace
Shall I go on?
RE: assistant coach listed in the scorebook: I don't know, nor do I care, about the names of assistant coaches (or players, for that matter)... If #43 is listed in the scorebook and it turns out #43 is an adult assistant coach, and #43 actually plays in the game... well, then the opposing team gets to file an incident report with the state. Same thing would happen if #43 was an actual team member who had gone over the daily/yearly participation limits set by the state.
