I don't know what your asking but there is no playing advantage to making a mistake administratively. Hence the name. NCAA and Fed have chosen to give 2 shots for these "mistakes", FIBA does not. Thats what I am saying.
To me it makes my life easier to not have to explain why the other team is taking 2 shots before play even starts. (Not that I should have to because all coaches know the rules, right!)
As far as the player not playing that is a FIBA rule if they are not on the scoresheet when the tip is taken they don't play. You cant add players after the game has started.
