One Technical or Two

Team A failed to supply the starters to the home scorekeeper by the 10:00 mark. The team had gone into the locker room at the 12:00 mark, therefore, there was no way to communicate with Team A.

In fact, the information provided to the home scorekeeper was actually the freshmen team instead of the JV team (the game in question was the JV game). Therefore, several players had to be added to the scorebook well after the 10:00 mark.

The question is, how many technical fouls should be assessed? Per the Rules Book:
Rule 3....
SECTION 2 ROSTERS, STARTERS, NUMBERS
ART. 1 . . . At least 10 minutes before the scheduled starting time, each team
shall supply the official scorer with the name and number of each team member and designate the five starting players. Failure to comply results in a technical foul
(see 10-1-1 Penalty).
ART. 2 . . . After the 10-minute time limit specified in Article 1, a team is
charged with a maximum of one technical foul regardless of how many
infractions of the following are committed (see 10-1-2 Penalty):

a. Changing a designated starter, unless necessitated by illness, injury, illegal
equipment or apparel, etc., or to attempt a technical-foul free throw.
b. Adding a name to the team member list.
c. Requiring the scorer to change a team member' or player' number in the
scorebook.
d. Requiring a player to change to the number in the scorebook.
e. Having identical numbers on team members and/or players.

Per Case 3.2.A team A would be assessed one technical foul for 3-3-1 and for 3-3-2 (rule indicates a maximum of one technical foul for failing to comply with 3-3-2 regardless how many violations occur).

This brought about another question. If a team completely fails to supply any information to the home scorekeeper, would the team automatically be assessed two technical fouls? One for 3-3-1 and one for 3-3-2 since they will have to ADD every name to the book as prescribed in 3-3-2.
