Way Too Many "Players" Warming Up

To follow that logic, it would seem to me that a player dunking in pregame, whether in the book or not, IS considered team personnel.

Yup, and similarly using your logic, someone that jumps out of the stands and dunks the ball can also be considered bench personnel without being in the book. And someone that fell off a turnip truck outside the gym doors, saw the bright lights and decided to come in and get warm, and then said "hey, I can do that." and dunks the ball is also now bench personnel without being in the book, using the same logic.

Good logic.
