Another sitch. Player enters... coach says, "hey add 23 he just got here"... scorer complies... ball is made live... other team's scorekeeper informs other team's coach that 23 is not in book... coach calls time to raise issue. Now it is to late to penalize. Book was advised to make change and made change. Ball had become live with the player already added to the book.

Correct, although I believe there was some disagreement here on whether it would be too late.

3) Penalized when they occur, after ten minute time limit. The infraction occurs when the scorer is advised to add to or change the scorebook. The foul must be charged when it occurs and enforced when the ball next becomes live. Once the ball has become live, it is too late to penalize. A maximum of one technical foul per team regardless of the number of infractions for 2a, 3a, 3b, 3c, 4a:
a) A team shall not add a name to the team member list after the ten minute time limit. Team technical foul. When such a player legally enters the court, the player’s name, and number, must be entered into the scorebook.

I believe that this means that the infraction is not for the player participating with no name/number in the book. The infraction is for adding a name to the book. If the scorekeeper, for some reason, adds the name/number on his own, then the, "The foul must be charged when it occurs and enforced when the ball next becomes live. Once the ball has become live, it is too late to penalize." comes into play. That's the best I can offer, and I've been working on these type of technicals for a couple of months. It's a goal of mine this year.

bMac, your work in this area has got me focusing on it as well. I feel like I'm getting closer, but still not proficient enough.
