We really aren't concerned with tracking team fouls either, but it is useful to know when a team is getting close to the bonus or double bonus situation. That said, we still have to confirm it with the official book.
sseltser wasn't being facetious - with the exception of the time, everything else displayed on the scoreboard, while it may be useful, is not official. When push comes to shove, it's what is in the official book that counts.

Hence why in one of my earlier postings, I was saying that one of the times I'm doing scorebaord/timer, I'll just have the time displayed on the scoreboard & nothing else. This way the scorebook would have to be relied on 100%, instead of the coaches looking at the scoreboard for information.
