3 against 1

[Sco53]

Boys soph prelim last night, 2nd quarter. Foul called on white 32, table buzzes and says no 32 in the book. Sure enough he's not in there but he is on the roster that's right there on the table. VC starts chirping that it's a TF after I announce it's a book keeping error. HC comes over and agrees that it's a TF and my partner comes over and signals the T and tells the HC he has to sit. I managed to talk my P out of sitting the HC, but he insisted that it was a TF. The book was verified for total number of players at 10:00, somehow this got through. I gave up the fight when it was 3 against 1, and went with the flow.
Anybody know if there's a case for this type of situation?
