First, administrative technicals for something like the starters not being marked. I can understand incorrect numbers and such (even though most would agree that 99% of the time it's just error, not deceiet). For the life of me, I cannot figure out what difference it makes. When I do the books, I don't even mark who goes in afterwards, because that sort of information is irrelevant, really. The only purpose I can see would be to confirm that the number is in the book, but I double check during the pre-game. I just don't get it. It's a dumb rule.

What do you all think?
I should probably read the thread first, but I like this rule. I've convinced officials to enforce it twice. I use that ten minutes to contemplate how I want to matchup in a man-to-man defense, and to possibly refresh certain players on the tendencies of the player she will be guarding.
