B is penalized when the change is made. If the book had made the change in the first half and told you about it in the second half, it's too late. If they let it ride and are only now making the change when they bring it up, then you call it because they're making the change. Even if he hadn't played since the first half, IMO, they have to make this change.

I don't believe that they have to. It's up to the coach if he wants a change made in the book, and it's an automatic change if the player enters the game in the second half.

*3.2.2 SITUATION C: Team A substitute No. 25 reports to the table for the first time with approximately one minute remaining in the second quarter and is beckoned onto the court. In (a), the ball is put in play by a throw-in from A1 to A2. The horn sounds and the scorer informs the officials that No. 25 is not listed in the scorebook. In (b), No. 25 plays the remainder of the second quarter. During halftime intermission, the official scorer realizes No. 25 is not listed in the scorebook and informs the officials when they return to the court before the start of the third quarter. RULING: In (a), No. 25 is currently in the game and became a player when he/she legally entered the court. Since his or her name and number must now be entered into the scorebook, a technical foul is charged to Team A. In (b), no penalty is assessed since No. 25 is not currently in the game. If No. 25 attempts to enter the game in the second half, his or her name and number will be added to the scorebook and a technical foul charged to Team A. (3-2-2b; 10- 1-2b)

IMO, if 25 had played and scored, there's no question he needs to be added. I'm with Nevada, in that I think this ruling is absurd. I'm not with Nevada, however, in that if 25 hasn't scored or fouled anyone, I'll follow the case listed.

If 25 had played and scored, it would have not been at halftime when the missing name/number was discovered. It would have been noticed when the scorer attempted to record the points in the book for the score.

Fair enough, but I would have thought the same thing about when he entered. Obviously the scorer isn't doing his job, so I'm not willing to discount any possibility.

Why isn't the scorer following the RULE and checking the little box to indicate that #25 played in the 2nd quarter? The scoring of points or committing of a foul is not important BY RULE, participating in the contest is.
