Frankly, your first point contradicts itself. It's not "necessary" as evidenced by your ability to work without it. Notice you didn't use an alternative score display. It's definitely beneficial, but hardly necessary.

Unfortunately there was not an alternative score display available till later in that day. When that alternate display became available, it was used for both the time & score, as it was a little table-top scoreboard, neither bench could see it unless the coach stepped out onto the court.
Concerning the technical difficulties, the arena that the 4A regionals was being played in, is an arena that's normally used for hockey & arena/indoor football. Normally the Harlem Globetrotters do an annual game there as well, however for this setup, there were two courts. Each court had use of one of the main scoreboards with smaller scorebaords brought in to supplement. On this court, everything was working right before the the 1st game, but in the middle of the game the scoreboard controls did not want to communicate with the scoreboards. Because of this fact, is the reason why we resorted to using stopwatches & IPhones for timing devices.
