If you didn't tell the officials why you needed to make the change, that's probably why you "took the T." A simple explanation of, "Excuse me, sir, #34 thought he could go but he's feeling ill, and I'd like to designate a new starter in his place" probably would have sufficed. Assuming the officials knew the rule.

If you said this, and they made you "take the T" anyway, then the mistake belongs to the officials.
