Head coach says well it should be you copied it wrong. Table says, no I didn't you just added it.
Then what??

Mea culpa. I scoured my rule book last night but couldn't find a specific rule stating that the head coach is responsible for the accuracy of their roster in the official book. The closest thing I could find was a list of scorer's duties which included having the coach sign the book prior to the start. I guess it's just so standard around here, that I had it in my mind it was a written rule. The scenario above is precisely why I think it *would* be good to have the coach (or someone they choose to designate) verify the roster. It would eliminate the potential my-word-versus-yours between the scorer and coach.
Regarding the above situation though...by rule I'd say that if the official scorer does not believe they have made any sort of error while entering the names in the book, then I'm thinking we have an administrative T against that team. 2 shots and the ball for the other team.
