I think you are wrong by the intent if not the actual rule, however the most important thing here is that you get the call right, period. If the scorer puts a score in the book and I know it is wrong - I am changing it to what it should be when I get the chance. I am authorized to do so becuase points were put in the book and "the scorer did it wrong".
little off topic.
Now how about the not counting a basket at all?
in this day and age of computerized play by play (not all HS have this)/even most everyone has some radio or webcast going.
last night BV there were four books, two statisticians, I do not think I could have lost a point if I wanted to. There is too much information available for you not to be able to correct a score with fairly accurate knowledge.
This is one they should look at taking out of the correctable error line and just make it right the get the score or they do not.

If you see conflicting signals from your partners, blow it dead and take care of it right away. then you have no need to keep track of live ball, dead ball, and you get it right, right away. Good game management helps you here. Making sure of the points scored and making sure they come up on the board. I know we can't be watching the scoreboard all the time, but we can be watching our partners when a three is going up and throughout the game. I agree with you, we need to get it right and there are provisions for getting it right. Get it right sooner, later is not allowed by rule.
