I grab the ball run down to the other end and set up for the double bonus shots. I say to the girls "double bonus we are shooting two" and toss her the ball.

How do I prevent this from happening???? Or I am I really at the mercy of Joe Blow at the table on this...
When administering FTs I don't say 2 until I see 10 on the board for common fouls. It sounded like you had more than enough info to decide there was a descrepency before the FT being shot.

ie:
during the timeout it showed 9
clock guy says 10
Per 2-10-11 I need that info from the scorer not the timer
board shows 9 before you administered

In all honesty, being on top of your game especially when you have definitive info would have prevented this error from happening.
