Players in the Book

[eventnyc]

JV Boys HS Game tonight (NFHS Rules). My partner and I count the players on the floor prior to the start of the game. We then check the books and note that team A has 12 players listed in the book. Only 9 are on the floor practicing. We ask the scorer about the missing 3. She states that two are not dressed and one is not present (late). We go over to the coach who informs us that the two not suited up are not playing due to conduct problems (not injured). Are the three players permitted in the book? The rule book states that a team member is a member of bench personnel who is in uniform and is eligible to become a player (4-34.4) If they are not team members are they allowed in the book? If 5 players foul out and two are on the bench not dressed then is it permissible to go with 4? What if the coach prior to the 5th player fouling out decides to dress them? We left the three names in the book. None of the above situations took place.
