Then, you say that the official book had the correct starters listed. So, there should have been no T at all.
What really happened?

Like I stated, I wasn't doing table so I don't have the true 1st hand of what happened. However I was behind the table doing crowd control.
The administrative error was found as the ball was in the air for the jump ball. The official book was verifying the visitor starters with the visitors' book, before the ball was put into play, however this was not completed until after the jump ball. Only about 2-3 seconds had ticked off the game clock.
It seemed like no one had an understanding of what had happened until after the fact. The floor officials conferred before the administrative T was assessed.
