Varsity player dunks during JV halftime

Gee Rut...now you have me really confused.

Of course you would be. The rules allow for a "team member" to be penalized dunking during warm-ups. This is not a "team member." He is not listed in the book or associated with the team that is in the locker room at half time. If you give a T for this, you are not following any rule on this, you are making it up. You can do that to some extent because the rules allow the Referee to rule on things not specifically covered in the rulebook (this situation is not covered anywhere that I have seen). I just think that would be wrong and not good common sense officiating. You also said to put the player in the book and where do the rules say to do that (which is why you need to review the rules on this)? As someone said you would have to give a T for putting a player in the book that was not listed before the 10 minute mark before game time.

Using your application would be over-officious if you ask me.

Peace
