Officials are supposed to check to be sure the correct spots are occipied before administering a FT -- but if they don't, it's still a violaiton (or a double violation).

Officials are supposed to check that the correct number of players are in the book, but if they don't and a player is added, it's still a T.

IOW, officials are responsible for managing the game. Teams are responsible for complying with the rules. Sometimes the responsibiities look the same.
