Unfortunately, I think that your local interpreter's answer is inaccurate and uninformative. While that is the definition of a team member, the rules do not state WHEN those kids have to be ready to play. Why would anyone interpret it to mean that they have to be ready TEN minutes prior to the scheduled game time? The teams still have ten minutes to warmup and by definition are NOT ready to play at that time. They are still stretching and running drills.
Many teams return to the lockerroom for the last several minutes of this time period. The ENTIRE team leaves. Would this guy say that means that there are no team members present and that this team should forfeit?

Sorry, but your local guy need to rethink this one or pick up the phone and call the NFHS office for clarification.
