The kids on the bench could have illegal undershirts, illegal jewelry, illegal headbands, etc. and they only have to "made" legal when they report to the table as a substitute. Since there are no players during the pregame layup lines, then everyone could conceivably be wearing illegal equipment.

I know that I'm on thin ice here, i.e., disagreeing with bob jenkins, but, like I said, I can be easily convinced that bob jenkins is correct.

When on the court the team members must be legally equipped and that pertains to warm-ups as well per a Case Book play. However, Bob is right that a team member who just sits on the bench the whole game doesn't have to comply. For example, he/she could wear earrings and not participate.
