Way Too Many "Players" Warming Up

Oh? The recommended FED mechanic is for the calling official to immediately notify the team member who dunked the ball that he just got a "T", and then notify the head coach. That's case book play 10.3.4SitC. If the person that you inferred was a team member immediately tells you that he is NOT affiliated with that team and the team's head coach then backs that up, are you still going to infer that he really was a team member and go ahead and issue that "T"?

Not me. I'm just gonna run his butt off the floor, and write up a post-game report about the incident asking for better crowd control in the warm-up. If the player and coach lied, it will come out.
