Depends who you ask. The NFHS rules require a record to be kept of all starts and any substitutes who enter. That record is the scorebook. So if the individual has played, then he/she must be entered into the book. That would cause a team technical foul to be assessed.
There was an NFHS play ruling issued a couple of seasons ago stating that once the kid exited the game, the officials wouldn't penalize unless he/she came back in. That seems silly to me and doesn't mesh with the rule. Why should a team be allowed to break the rule without punishment just because the table crew didn't notice. If it is clear that the individual has played, then where's the required record of that?
