While I am a proponent of having the coaches verify the information and sign the book before the game begins, I also see no reason why you wouldn't evaluate the situation and make a decision based on judgement. I have had situations where it was clear that the bookkeepr wrote 34 instead of 43 and we were able to verify that by looking at the other books or the roster supplied by the coaches. I see this situation as not different. One of our jobs as referees is you use our best judgement to ensure the spirit of the game is upheld and a tech in this situation is not fair if the team had no control over the book.
