I see some guys spend 30 seconds at the table and other guys who spend 3 minutes there, so I am wondering what it is you are looking at? I'd like to hear how each of you handle the table/books for a game you are the R on the crew.
Thanks

I see very little need to verify anything with a coach about the book. All I care about is do we have the same number of players on the floor as we have in the book. You cannot check their numbers most of the time because everyone has warm-ups on a lot of the time. I look for 5 starters (which are almost never wrong anyway) and move on. I have a couple of friends that seem to think this is a big deal. I have never seen it as a big deal. It is not my job in my opinion to baby sit them. These are adults and they should know what information they give the team. And if they think something is wrong, have some information to back up what they gave the book especially if you are the visiting team or working a tournament. After all of this, leave and move on.
Peace
