Have done this plenty of times in grade school games.... "coach, who needs to score?"...followed by a "foul".....

Then again, for some, that action would be considered unethical and punishable.

Remember, the technical foul is not for him not being in the book, it would be for his name being added to the book.

Simple planning by the coaching staff prevents putting the officials in an awkward spot.

Unless someone (scorer or possibly opposing coach) points out that the kid was not in the book ... how are we to know. I check the book, but I don't memorize it. We are not in any awkward position here.

We can't ignore or set aside rules because people want us to.

I pray you're not ever involved in something like this. For your sake and for the kids'.
