If somebody screws up pre-game, it ain't the officials' fault. It's also nonsense imo to place any blame at all for a pre-game screw-up on the officials.

If I am the R, prior to the game, I always take the official book, count the players listed, count the players on the court to see if they match, and then hand the book to each coach and have them look at it and OK it. It's my part of preventive officiating.
