I think BillyMac has already conceded that, as you know, there is no RULE prescribing what action should be taken if the number of team members warming up does not match the number of names in the scorebook. However, any official worth a 5th-grade-game-paycheck will use just a little "preventative officiating" and mention to the coach that there aren't enough names in the book. That way, we don't have to resort to the RULE about what to do when a name is added after the 10-minute mark; which, again, you already know.
