I agree that in both cases you had some definite officiating problems. About all you can to is report to the conference commissioner and hope they take care of it. As far as the scorer's problems, did the officials even discuss the discrepency between the 2 books? Obviously the official book is what they need to be using, but I would think that big of a difference would have been noticed by someone on the crew. It wouldn't have made a difference in your game, but at least the officials could have reported the scorer's problems to the assignor and then the assignor could contact the school. I had a lower level HS game a few weeks ago where we basically changed the official book to the visitor's book because we had a couple of HS girls taking care of the home book and they were doing a terrible job.
Keep up the good questions. Some officials (including me at times) see the terms "got screwed" and immediately get riled up. You brought up some valid points of things that should have been done right at any level of game, especially college.
