In my coaching days a backwards K was a strikeout looking and a very bad thing to have in the scorebook. And while I was not normally keeping the book, I always knew of backwards K's in the book. A player with a backwards K was on thin ice. A player with 2 backwards K's in the same game would not get a chance to get a third, and they all knew this.
