illegal player

[johnnyrao]

I don't have my rule book handy, so can anyone back this up with the appropriate rules? I thought the technical was assessed when the number was changed. Also, I would think in this case that the player is no longer aplayer, but is now bench personnel. That being the case, why can't the coach leave her on the bench and not change the #? As long as she does not play again, the number does not have to be changed. Or, since she already played, is Nevada correct and you make the scorekeeper change the # and then penalize it. Like I said, I'm not questioning the others posts, I just have no rule book handy so I would like to know how you would apply the rules to this situation. Thanks.
