Don't have him mark the technical in a personal box.

I've always done this and found it easier.
Our scorebooks had boxes for 5 personal fouls and 2 technical fouls. When a technical occurred, I would fill in the box for the T, and write the letter "T" in the box for the corresponding personal foul - I find it is much easier to recognize when there is a total of 5 personal and technical fouls.
Of course, this only works for scorekeepers who know that technical fouls don't "count as personal fouls."

Good point, Mark. I have noticed the past couple of years that it is becoming more prevelant that the scorekeepers often don't know how to properly record everything in the book -- especially at the freshman/jv level. I had one occassion this past season in a jv game where neither the clock operator or scorekeeper had done this before. Talk about fun and games!
