Mark T. DeNucci, Sr.: Do you remember the 2005 IAABO Refresher Exam? Do you remember getting question #73 wrong? Do you remember being pissed that you got the question wrong, especially after you discovered that this was not an error on the answer sheet? Do you remember where you left your car keys?

I realize that it's not a "Casebook Play or Approved Ruling, but it does, or did, carry some weight among IAABO members.

73) Squad member #45 missed the bus and is not present at the time the squad list and starting lineup must be submitted for team members. During the pregame warm up, the referee counts eleven team members for team A, but while checking the book, team A has twelve team members listed. Referee informs the coach that the squad member who is not present may not be placed in the book, even if he/she will get to the game late. Is the referee correct?

73) Yes: Rule 3, Section 2, Article 1, Rule 4, Section 34, Article 4.

3-2-1: At least ten minutes before the scheduled starting time, each team shall supply the official scorer with the name and number of each team member and designate the five starting players. Failure to comply results in a technical foul (see 10-1-1 Penalty).

4-34-4: A team member is a member of bench personnel who is in uniform and is eligible to become a player.
