Here, the conference and state are not going to ask the official what was #8's name. (an illegal number btw
). That information will be corroborated by the appropriate administering authorities through previous scorebooks or other means.
Officials do not know player's names for the most part any way so these hypotheticals are off base.
Again, if there is any reason to believe a wrong name was purposely used then a T would be warranted. But based on the OP it simply sounds like the visiting book just wrote down the wrong name. It was noticed and corrected.
Bookeeping error and move on. I swear some folks just like putting S in the game.
