That was also my thought on two hand reporting. On the high school and lower level games mistakes could easily be made as scorers aren't as experienced as college.
WHAT?! Scorekeepers don't know how to read left to right? And if you verbalize, your numbers as well, you're fine. Officials just have to show the numbers correctly, right hand 1st number left hand 2nd number, so that score kepers can read the numbers left to right. It cracks me up when I see other officials in my area use two hand reporting, but get the numbers backwards. Two handed reporting should be optional at first, until everyone can start getting it right.
