Agreed. I had a game this season where I reported a foul during a fast break, and before we shot FT's the horn buzzed. I went over to the table and the home scorer asked me, "Are you sure #11 committed the foul?"
I said, "I think so, why, is there no #11?" She said, "There's a #11, but are you sure?" Visiting scorer said nothing. I couldn't figure out what she was asking, so I said yes and we went on.
At halftime they told me that everyone at the table saw that I had the wrong player (11 had stepped between the fast breaker and the fouler somehow). I reminded them that they were all officials, and that we needed to get it right. The visiting scorer said that since his book wasn't official, he thought that he wasn't allowed to say anything.
