The play described below is provided for your review and discussion. The rulings given are based on NFHS rules. NCAA rulings may be different.
Two Team A players arrive late to the game. At halftime the coach adds the two players to the roster.
Handle the situation.
This should result in a technical foul for adding a name to the team member list. Only one technical foul penalty would be applied.

Since the throw-in is the part of the technical foul penalty, the alternating possession arrow would not be switched.
