I think I missed a test question on this one: Situation: During halftime intermission, home coach takes the official scorebook into the locker room. Ruling: Technical foul.
I put true. oops
If the book says something
shall be, doesn't it indicate consequences if otherwise happens?
Apparently, since this is listed under scorer's duties, it is supposed to be understood that the scorer should take whatever action necessary to insure that the book stays at the table. But, in the real world, many scorekeepers are not aware that this is in the book. So when they come back from the bathroom and say, "Where's the book?" "Oh, the coach took it." They merely shrug. Then when the officials see the coach return to the floor carrying the book, what can they do? "Hey, coach, you're not supposed to take the book."
Kinda like WWF. No hitting with the closed fist. But when they do it.......
(and they do it, over and over)
