I see what you are saying. I havnt read it that way. not saying your wrong just i havnt read it that way.

And i don't know what "hot swaps" means but it sounds unsportsmanlike to me...

If I saw the coach distracting illegal picking the referee while this hot swap happened I agree with more of a bench T. If I saw the player just jump out and try to sub I would call a sub T. Having the coach get an indirect being the only difference isnt this massive problem and I think it could be sold easily.

Sorry computer term slipped in there. What I mean by hot swap is one player comes on, one comes off while the ball is still live.

That's just the way I read it. Like many parts of the NFHS rules, it's somewhat vague so I see your side of it too.

Way to over-complicate a very straightforward (and rare) basketball occurrence. You either "know" committed the specific infraction, or you don't. That should help determine what you do.

I have always thought my options for a player running on the floor during live ball to be unsportsmanlike bench T, or if it is do to screwup, no ill intent, substitute T. If there are 6 on floor and i don't know how it happened and get no help, team tech.

Welpe, finally had time to get into case book at length. Take a look at 10.3.2. Substitute tech plays. A6 runs onto court during live ball and while clock runnning. Sub tech if it is discovered before ball becomes live following first dead ball. Thx

OK I can buy that. Perhaps the line of whether it should be a foul against bench personnel does depend upon if he's doing something unsporting or not.
