Coach we have a score correction from earlier in the quarter you didn't win we are going to overtime, wrse yet no overtime you lost. Have fun with that.  |
I'm with you.
Matter of fact, one of the few things I tell the scorer/timer is that if there's ANY confusion on whether's there's a 2 or 3, I want a horn IMMEDIATELY and we WILL kill the play. I do not want to have to try to remember when the shot happened, etc. and do not want it to be 4 possessions later.
Working a 3-person boys game a few weeks ago, I was the trail and had a 2-point attempt from the corner. After the ball went through, the C unexplicably signaled a made 3 (touchdown). We didn't have to stop the game, though, as I immediately signaled 2 to him and then we both got the table's attention while the ball was still well in the backcourt.
Watching a JV game the other night, I couldn't believe how many 2-point shots (foot clearly on the line) were marked as 3-point attempts. Not that the game was well called in general...
