Her coach tells the referee that they had her name in the book but with the wrong number.
The crew is not sure if they can call a technical foul since the girl is no longer in the game. They all agree that she WAS in the game.
My books are at home. Is it a technical foul? Does it have to be called while she's in the game?

Since she played the book must correctly reflect her information (name and number). Upon discovery that this information is incorrect, the book must be changed to make it correct. That would be done immediately upon learning of the problem, and that is the proper time to assess the penalty of a team technical foul.
