Could never prove it but pretty soon you decide that it is not a coincidence. He is no longer the scorer and funny how the problem has gone away.

Interesting!!
In answer to another post, it came up because the girl was checking in and the book couldn't find the number. So the player pointed to her name, and book person then saw that the numbers were wrong.
In volleyball some refs will check the numbers in the book, one ref looks at the book and states the numbers out loud to the other ref who is looking at the players and confirming that such a number is there. That would be an obvious preventive move, but it seems a little cumbersome. I haven't really done enough varsity yet to judge how often this kind of thing happens. Is it problem enough to merit this amount of attention?
