During halftime intermission, the official scorer realizes No. 25 is not listed in the scorebook and informs the officials when they return to the court before the start of the third quarter. RULING: In (b), no penalty is assessed since No. 25 is not currently in the game. If No. 25 attempts to enter the game in the second half, his or her name and number will be added to the scorebook and a technical foul charged to Team A. (3-2-2b; 10-1-2b)

Required, but sometimes mistakes are made.

Timekeeper let's in substitute #25 which isn't noticed by the scorekeeper? This is more likely to happen if #25 never scores or is charged with a foul.

Scorekeeper notices #25 but decides to inform the officials at the next intermission, when all team members are bench personnel?

Scorekeeper notices but adds #25 unilaterally, without informing the officials until the next dead ball?
