The thing is, you can pregame this all you want, and some team somewhere is going to have to get hit for this anyway because B12 doesn't realize coach subbed for him at the time out but lingers around the bench while the players take their seats after the "thirty." You and your partners count 5, but don't realize B12 isn't going to sit down, and put the ball in play. Then you realize B is playing a "box and 2" defense. It only takes a moment's lapse in concentration at the wrong time. It's a T because it's the coach's responsibility; otherwise it would be a correctable error.
