I've only been up for an hour, and this is the second significant game administration error I've read about this morning...

In a Missouri high school playoff game Friday night, Cooter High School (Cooter, MO) @ Principia School (Town & Country, MO), two made free throws by Cooter were missed by the official scorer. On the video, you can see the scoreboard operator put up the points and a short period after, take them off the board. The Cooter coach protested, asked the officials to confirm the score and after a short conference, officials found a discrepancy between scorebooks that couldn't be resolved, declared the (incorrect) official book to be the actual score and moved on. Principia ended up winning the game in overtime.

After the game, the MSHSAA reviewed the materials and issued a statement:
they determined that a scoring error had occurred, but nothing could be done because the score was final when the referees left the floor.

Not an ideal situation either.
