Doesn't this err by the officials come down to the following:

1) pre-game talk with the scorer and timer. Their responsibilities. Letting the scorer know that the running score is very important.

2) I know in high school you are to verify the score at the end of each half, But, I still verify the score, fouls, etc with the scorer at the end of the quarter. I know you are only to do it at the end of the half, but it is great prevention.

3) Veteran officials have always taught me during time outs with a very close game, check the scorer to make sure everything is right - score, fouls, TOs. It helps prevents things like this occuring.

I know many officials who do not pre-game with the scorer or timer, it is very important. It lets them know that they are apart of official crew that night.
