Question

Hi all,

Can you tell me what the procedure is for a game in which the scorekeeper is not writing the fouls in the book?

We had a situation recently where the officials were properly reporting the fouls, but they were not being written in the book.

Of course, the game ends up with a two point differential. No non-shooting free throws were attempted, because no one realized they weren't being recorded until the last two minutes of the game.

Any specific rules that address which individuals are responsible for a situation such as this? Of course, the officials should have known, but without personally checking after reporting each foul, this isn't really logical. Should this be a "home administrator" responsibility (to provide a qualified scorekeeper)?

Thanks for your response and any specific rule references!

Thanks,
Tim in Hollywood
