Make sure starters are marked. I chat with the book(s), clock, and shot clock operator in an attempt to gauge their competency.

The rule only states that they must have the information submitted by 10 minutes. Nothing states that they must be actually in the book at all by that time. And this is often a problem as the person keeping the book is no where to be found after the game before in many cases. And we should not penalize teams because the home assigned person does not do their job in a timely manner.
