 NFHS Rule number and text help Book not here. What is the number of the text that says it's a TF if the team leaves the team area (for the locker room in this case) before the half is over? | 
| 
 10-5-5 (Direct T on the Coach) | 
| 
 10-5-5? The head coach shall not permit team members to the leave the bench area and/or playing court for an unauthorized reason. | 
| 
 Thanks! | 
| 
 And, Case Book 10.5.5 A directly supports the ruling for the OP. |
