Where in the Federation rule book is this enumerated in case this is an issue?

The only requirement in the rule book is the player must be in the scorebook 10 minutes prior to the scheduled start time. There is no requirement that a player be present at the start of the game, so you won't find a reference to it in the rule or case book.

I've often said that if I were a coach, I'd take the school enrollment list and staple it to the scorebook as my "roster" -- just in case I needed someone to play in the game. 😉

Whoa - you might have an NBA player who's still in high school! 😉

Yep, it's when he shows up late and is NOT in the book that there is a problem.

It's when he shows up late and is NOT in the book and enters the game that there is a problem...

As long as your enrollment doesn't exceed 36 students, since there are only 36 possible legal numbers in FED.

IAABO, not the NFHS, came out with a Refresher Test question a few years ago that basically said that a player who was not at the game site could not have his, or her, name written in the book. Our local interpreter told us to ignore the IAABO interpretation, and to keep on allowing more names in the book than may actually be in the layup lines.

If a team has identical numbers on team members, and/or players, after the ten minute time limit, then a team technical foul is charged. This infraction is charged and penalized upon discovery of identical numbers. Only one team member may wear a given number; the other must change to a number not already in use before participating.

I had a coach in a BV game recently ask if he could enter a player who was running late and would arrive after the start of the game.
I love a coach who asks when he's not sure instead of assume and be wrong. 🙂

Not true. There is no requirement that names be listed in the scorebook ten minutes prior to the game. What the rules book actually says is that the team must supply the official scorer with a team roster at least ten minutes prior to the game.
You know that.

Yep, I got careless.
