book error

[devdog69]

I was watching a JV game Saturday and saw this happen, which got a discussion going with myself and another ref watching from the stands. I have looked and can't find a satisfactory answer in the book, rule references please.

Starter #15 is in the book as #14, no one notices until :15 to go in the first quarter at which time she scores a bucket. The quarter expires and the table notifies the officials. They assess a technical foul and start the second quarter with the shots. I really saw no problem with the way they handled this, but my friend seemed to think that she was somehow validated in the book since she has already played and it wasn't caught earlier. I can see the argument that it wasn't caught while she was in the game and to wait until she comes in again to penalize, but can't really find what I'm looking for. Thanks.
