The T is not for the book not being ready. That portion does not matter. I don't have my book with me but the T is given if the starters are not identified and the roster is not given. All the coach has to do is hand a sheet of paper with all the names and numbers with the starters identified to the scorer and then it is up to the scorer to enter it to the book. If the T was for the book not being ready what would prevent the home team scorer from waiting till after the 10 minute mark every time? Lets make sure we don't penalize improperly on this.
