Agree with bob jenkins that it, indeed, can be done.
But how often does even a "good" scorekeeper do this in an interscholastic (high school or middle school) game?
I may be wrong, but I'm guessing not often.
As I've already stated. Over forty-plus years, in literally thousands of such situations, I've never had a scorer tell me, subsequent to an intermission or a timeout, "He didn't report".
Never ever.
