A couple of things you need to try to figure out:
1) was the correct information supplied to the table prior to the 10-minute mark? If so, it's a bookkeeping mistake, which doesn't warrant or require a T.
2) Did the 'indicated starter' become injured/incapacitated/sick during warm-ups? If so, they can be replaced as a starter without penalty.
"Hey coach, #34 is marked as a starter in the book, but she's not on the floor... she's sick, right?" "Huh?" "Just say 'yes', coach (*wink*)" "Oh... yeah, she's sick, but she'll be better in a minute" "Ok."

In the situation from last night, there was no pregame conference...
Also, and I hate when coaches do this, a student manager filled out the visitor's roster in the official book.
