As Nevada notes, a shady scorer could take advantage of this by not telling the officials.

If the rule was different, a shady scorekeeper could hold on to that T until an opportune time and then inform the officials, giving their team possession and two extra free throws at a crucial time.

....

That reasoning is pretty weak. Coach adds a name, team should get penalized. If he doesn't want the penalty to come at a crucial time, then don't hide the infraction. A scrupulous coach would volunteer, at the time of the infraction, that he/she just added a name to the book, and that would prevent an unscrupulous scorekeeper from pulling such a stunt.

But folks here make coaches responsible for correctable errors, something coaches have nothing to do with.

If the rule were written to penalize when discovered, coaches would be very motivated to be honest when adding names to the book.
