Dunk in pregame

PS
What if a injured player's mom comes onto the court takes the ball and dunks it?

By not chasing him off the court, the team is permitting him to join their warm-up which makes him affiliated with the team which is the very definition of bench personnel. There is no actual requirement of sitting on the bench during the game.

That's a real slippery slope if you want to use that as a basis for argument.

Don't tell me that. I didn't write the definition.

The rules are full of slippery slopes. The key is not slipping.
