Ticky Tack ... or not??

I would certainly hope that NO official ever would call a "T" if the book isn't done at the 10-minute mark. There's no rules backing to do so. The only requirement by rule is that the rosters and 5 starters must be given to the scorer by the 10-minute mark. They DON'T have to be entered into the scorebook by that time.

Methinks that you don't know the rule. Methinks you should read NFHS rule 10-1-1. Methinks that it might be a good idea to actually learn the rule before you think about calling a "T" for it.
