Because the rule is differetn -- there's a specific T for "delaying for a full minute at the start of either half" (or some words to that effect).

If a team isn't there, start the clock for a minute, and if it gets to zero, then assess a T.

If both teams are there, then use the ROP procedure (what you used).

That said, if the team wasn't notified (and especially if they couldn't be found), I wouldn't assess the T.
