Almost everyone in my area does this as well, and I've tried to explain to them that he is only liable for providing the scorer with his roster. I would not give a team a technical even if he signed off and the scorer had copied it down incorrectly. When I bring this up to partners that do this, I hear a lot of "Anything we find wrong after he signs off is a technical".

Making sh!t up is a favorite pastime of quite as few officials, I'm afraid.

Tell them you’ll go along with that theory as soon as they find something in the rule book to support it.

Had this happen tonight-first team of refs ask each HC to sign the book under their last player in the book. Correct me if I'm wrong but this is only a T if the player in question is not on the roster submitted at 10 minutes? If it is a copying error add and play on.

You are correct.
