Sounds like it was done right. You can ignore what some have said about you shouldn't have been there. No matter what you do, there will be a scorer that messes up. You can't and shouldn't do thier job for them. You can check with them, ask if it's correct but that's about it.
There's a reaons that each team is supposed to have a scorer at the table plus the timer. With 3 people recording the scores and fouls (2 if the board doesn't show them), the coach can only blame the scorer and timer (which in this case are his own staff). If they were the visitors, he still had his own scorer who should have been checking with the other scorer and timer after every bucket and foul.
We can do a lot to prevent correctable errors but when the table gives us bad info, there's not much else we can do. I do try to verify that the foul count on the board increments on each foul but if the board doesn't show fouls, you've got to trust that the scorers are doing thier jobs.
