One more story

I forgot one more story from last year. CYO 7th & 8th grade girls level. We're on the road. I got a late start so i literally get there right as the warm-ups end. (I think the girl that was going to take place was relieved). I didn't have time to get full names for the opponents into my scoresheets, so I told the scorer I'd get them at halftime.

At halftime, I go to copy the rest of the names, and the book is missing. Apparently, the assistant coach took it back to the locker room at the half.

3rd quarter is ready to start and the book isn't ready, so i got designated the official scorekeeper for the 2nd half. Luckily, I keep my black & white top packed with me. Original scorer wasn't ejected, but now had no book and nothing to do for the rest of the game, except wonder when we'd stop pressing After the game, I let the other team's assistant coach know she was risking a T by removing the book at home games. She didn't seem to care one way or another.
