Whether you were out on the court or not when they screwed up is completely irrelevant. All that matters is that they screwed up. The visitors made the mistake; not the officials. You can't change that fact.
It's got nuthin' to do with being a hardazz either. It's got everything to do with NOT having rules backing to NOT assess a "T".

By rule you have no choice but to
not assess the T.
3-2-1 "At least 10 minutes before the scheduled starting time, each team shall supply the official scorer with the name and number of each team member and designate the five starting players. Failure to comply results in a technical foul (see 10-1-1 Penalty)."
The scheduled start time was 8:10 PM. The visiting team has until 8:00 PM to submit its roster. The book was checked 20 minutes before the scheduled start time.
The home team cannot manufacture a T on the visitors by changing the start time in this manner.
