You got it-the home book gets really animated and vocal. So the official calls a T on the home team for unsporting conduct. When asked to explain the T, the official tells HC the homebook was told to stop but didn't AND he was part of home team bench personnel and HC was responsible for his actions.

Unfortunately, the official was completely and totally wrong.
A scorer at the table is NOT part of the bench, under any circumstances.
I've stopped talking to problem scorers. Instead, I go to the coach and explain that he/she needs to have a word with their scorer. If I have an issue after that, I will have the scorer removed from the gymnasium. I've yet to have to take that final step.
