1)Rules 4-34-2 and 1-13-1. The coach told you that they're not team members. That also means that they're not bench personnel. The bench is for team members and coaches. That means that their butts aren't going on the bench.

2) Again, the coach has already told you that they're NOT team members. That's why you aren't going to let them be added to a team member list. Just say "no". If the coach wants to argue, just say "fine, Coach, we'll both put a report in after the game and we'll let someone up the line decide whether I'm wrong or not."

Usually this situation, when it occurs, is varsity players goofing off before the JV game; sometimes even in uniform. You don't see it in your more disciplined programs, however. Those varsity boys will be wearing shirts and ties (generally) during the JV pregame.
