I don't mind the preventative officiating. That's not what's objectionable. What I object to is the idea that if you have the coach look at the official book and sign it that you can now call a team technical if he misses a scorer's transcription error. When you say, "It's on them if they choose not to," I take it you'd call the T here, when you have no rule to back that up.
You can't use 2-3, because the issue is addressed in the rules.

Exactly. If the team provides the lineup to the scorer, and the scorer either uses another source or makes a transcription error; it's not on the team/coach. Why are we looking for a reason to call a T here?
