No second opinions? As in, you never, ever, consult the table?
I know that this is a situation where you wouldn't, but I've had a few cases in HS varsity where the refs have checked with the table (or we've called them over) about whether a shot went in or not on a shooting foul.
Of course, that's probably just because the refs knew the scorer and me.

I do consult with the scorer's table but not in the situation that was mentioned. I check with them to double check on foul situation pertaining to the bonus. I check with them to clarify the AP arrow. I check with them between quarters to make sure the book matches the scoreboard, etc. etc. Nobody but the trail official on that play has coverage on that call. If the lead sees it hit(why is he looking up?) then he may confer with his partner and get it straightened out.
