Check the book early.
We used to have a coach in our conference that would identify problems in the book before the game started (Visiting coach has not listed his players or not identified starters). Then the coach would occupy the visiting coach in small talk etcetera until the officials show up somewhere past the 10 minute mark. He would then, with a dung-eating grin, demand a Technical foul to start the game. (True Sportmanship!)
So I have made it a habit to check the book before the 10 minute mark - say 11-12 minutes, and to request corrections be made if the book is not complete before I am placed in a position requiring a T. It has worked well.
