Good morning,
I think it's sneaky. If they put 10 minutes on the clock once all the names are in the book, then it could delay the start of the game. Most of the officials I know do this. Wait to go over to check the book when you see the person stop writing in the book. Be careful with this because, you don't want to wait too long. If you wait too long to check the book, have the coaches and captain's conference etc., then you could cause the game to be delayed. I hate to start the game with a T because of an administration foulup. If the scorer gets the names in at 9:58, are you going to penalize them? What happens if the scorer rushes to get the names in on time but makes an error in putting them in? T? Have a great day.
