Question for all on this one, how can you determine with certainty if the HC made a mistake or not? If he says, "I just gave them my book," or something similar, how do you know he didn't change his book later? Is it just faith in humanity?? Also, if it cannot be determined with certainty either way, what is the default, T or play on?

The OP was asking for a FIBA ruling.

If he supplied the official scorer with the correct information it does not matter that you had him check the book.
