Submit or check?

Is the coach required to submit his lineup or to submit and then check the official book? Case in point, Coach submits his book to the official scorer with the correct numbers, starters, etc. The games starts and the first foul results in a wrong number being copied into the official book by the official scorer? How do we handle this? Does the coach have to submit and then check the official book?

Just submit the lineup. One of the Referee's duties is to check the official scorebook. From your question, it might imply that the R should also check the Visitor's scorebook against the Home scorebook for any bookkeeping errors. In any case, your situation is a bookkeeping error by the Official Scorer and no technical foul should be charged.
